Problem:

• Our resources are overloaded and burned out.
• Our people have a lot of other work besides project work.
• We’ve got too many projects and not enough people
• We are always in firefighting mode.
• People can’t stay focused on project work.
• My people are constantly being interrupted

Resource problems typically revolve around ACHIEVABILITY: What is our project WIP (work-in-process) level? What is our supply-demand balance look like? Are we using LEAN and FLOW techniques to improve project throughput?

ACHIEVABILITY represents the soft underbelly of every portfolio. The truth is that ACHIEVABILITY is equally important to VALUE in portfolio management, but sorely overlooked in most organizations.

Using a combination of LEAN and Constraints Management methods, mc2solutions will help you implement a proven process to:

• measure WIP (work-in-process)
• develop strategies to reduce and control WIP in order to ensure an achievable portfolio
• create a “PULL” system for projects that reduces queues and optimizes development batch sizes
• increase the Throughput of your projects and the Productivity of your resources
