You are leading a project to develop a new software application. During the planning phase, you realize that the project coincides with multiple other projects, leading to a potential shortage of available software engineers with the necessary skills within your organization. What should you do to ensure adequate resourcing for the project?
Reschedule the project to align with the availability of software engineers.
Conduct a resource leveling exercise to balance demand against available supply.
Increase the project budget to accommodate for hiring additional staff.
Perform a detailed skills analysis and create a training plan for existing employees.
Conducting a resource leveling exercise is the correct action as it addresses potential overallocation of resources by adjusting the project schedule until an acceptable level of resource utilization is achieved. This might involve delaying tasks, finding alternative resources, or obtaining additional resources. Performing a skills analysis or rescheduling the project do not directly address the issue of potential resource shortages. Increasing the budget might allow for the allocation of additional resources, but without a proper assessment and response plan for existing resource constraints, it could be inefficient.
