Our organization started using PPM to track IT projects since last June. We are doing a 6-month pilot with 5 selected resource groups to try out the resource management process using PPM before proceeding to full implementation.
In the pilot, we created resource plans for demands and projects. We also created PTO operational resource plans with 15% for all 5 resource groups, and KTLO operational resource plans based on high-level estimates for the 5 resource groups.
I have question on entering estimates in the resource plans for demands and projects. Do we need to adjust the capacity (%) requirement due to the PTO and KTLO estimates for the groups?
For examples,
- an estimate of 1 FTE requirement should be adjusted to 0.85 FTE as 15% is allocated for PTO.
I'd appreciate if you could share your experience and advice on this. Thank you.
