Resource Planning

Process

Step 1: Assess Current Capacity

Resource	Available	Utilized	Remaining
[team/role]	X FTE	X FTE (X%)	X FTE

Step 2: Forecast Demand

Project/Initiative	Resources Needed	Timeline	Priority
[project]	X FTE of [role]	[dates]	H/M/L

Step 3: Identify Gaps

Role	Supply	Demand	Gap	Strategy
[role]	X FTE	X FTE	X FTE	Hire/Contract/Defer

Step 4: Build Allocation Plan

Resource	Q1	Q2	Q3	Q4
[name/role]	[project]	[project]	[project]	[project]

Step 5: Plan Contingencies

Risk	Mitigation
Key person unavailable	Cross-training, backup assignments
Demand exceeds plan	Pre-approved contractor list
Project delayed	Reallocation plan

Output Format

## Resource Plan: [Period]
### Capacity: [Current state]
### Demand: [Forecast by project]
### Gaps: [Shortfalls and strategies]
### Allocation: [Assignment matrix]

Quality Checklist

• Current capacity accurately measured
• Demand forecast includes all known projects
• Gaps have clear fill strategies
• Allocation avoids single points of failure
• Contingency plans exist for key risks

Edge Cases

• For shared resources, establish priority rules and escalation
• If demand significantly exceeds supply, force-rank projects
• For seasonal businesses, plan for peak/off-peak staffing
