ABSTRACT:
A method of analyzing a workload schedule compared to available resources is provided. Projects comprising a process with at least one task are identified. A work time for each task is determined, including a greatest hands-on work time task. An effort equivalence (EE) for each task is determined by normalizing each task work time to the greatest hands-on work time. The projects are arranged so each task is at least partially performed in one interval. An apportionment of EE's is determined, as well as a total EE (TEE) for each interval. Each TEE is compared to a historical maximum EE volume (HMEEV) to evaluate the workload schedule compared to the available resources. Where a TEE exceeds the HMEEV, the projects are modified to reapportion the TEE's for a more efficient utilization of available resources compared to the workload schedule. A related method, system, and computer program product are also provided.
