Last week we were over at Project Challenge - right now in fact, Wednesday morning - probably meeting you if you came along to the first day. Loads of you did come over the two days - some of you reading this are probably brand spanking new to PMO Flashmob so hello!
As is the tradition with the PMO Flashmob stand, we always like to ask you a question or two as well.
This time we asked "What is the top current challenge you have in resource management right now?"
Of course we were asking because of the new Report we've released - it's here - and it's about resource management.
So what was on the board

‘Beyond Timesheets: The Challenges and Realities of Resource Management'
The PMO Manager’s Lunch was held to explore three distinct areas that currently present a challenge:
1.Capacity Planning – cross organisation and cross divisional/department in terms of ‘do we have enough people to do the work’
2. Allocation – down to a project level where we start to have named resources and all the fun and games of potential timesheeting issues that we do or don’t have.
3. Skills and capabilities of the delivery teams and what the PMO can do in this area for example with competency models.

The PMO Mini-Masterclass on Resource Management and the PMO was all about taking the time to start the conversations and learning specifically around the challenges PMO face in their role in resource management.
The full presentation
The presentation was carried out by Paul Major of Program Framework
The aim of the session was to start those discussions on what challenges does the PMO actually face in resource management; what are some of the aspirations for the PMO and its role in resource management and an overview of what those roles are.
The session also includes a quick demo of a new tool called Tempus Resource - it's been getting rave reviews from others working in the PMO (if you want to see that take a look here)
