Big title! This is the session we gave at Project Challenge the other week. Unless you've been on the moon, you can't have helped but notice we launched our latest Inside PMO Report at the show.
It's Beyond Timesheets: The Challenges and Realities of Resource Management - we recommend you download it and either listen to the session before or after.
We also covered some of the resource management challenges from the visitors to the show, that article went out last week.
We mention in the video about wanting to take this report further so if you're interested in getting involved in some way, drop us a line through the form below.
The session is 26 minutes long - enjoy :)
