• An understanding of resource utilization impacts both portfolio planning and project gate keeping.

•Use of funnels and matrices on their own can bring forth an optimized project portfolio. But without adequate attention to innovation capacity, the portfolio’s promise will remain unrealized. In addition to overall resource requirements for the portfolio, it is also important to factor in individual resource constraints. Studies show that the overall productivity for individuals peaks at 2 to 3 projects, and declines rapidly thereafter. For example, when key managers are shown as contributing materially to five or more projects, many of the projects are not happening and the remainder are adversely affected.

The Pre-quip example shows us that many organizations experience capacity over-commitment.One cause of capacity overcommitment can be poor planning. Often, when companies plan resource allocation over time, they do not take into account changes in the level of functional involvement by phase (shown above).Accurate resource allocation planning requires a more robust model because resource consumption requires time and function resolution.

Pros • Established

• Relatively easy and quick to implement

• A building block for more complicated valuation methods

• Incorporates decision making and uncertainty

• Determines optimal decisions

• Transparent and easy to understand.

• Building block for other more complicated valuation methods.

Allows for complicated and multiple uncertainties spanning both discrete and continuous outcomes. Easier to model non-standard uncertainties

• Elegant, easy to implement with formula in hand

• A numerical solution incorporating optimal decisions and (possibly) both continuous and discrete uncertainties.

Cons • Does not allow for

contingent decisions

• Collapses many decisions and outcomes down to a single scenario

• Does not account for managerial ability to react to

• Trees can become complicated with many decisions and uncertainties.

• Essentially limited to discrete decisions and discrete characterization of uncertainties.

Methods do not determine optimal policies. Programming becomes complicated with many decisions and uncertainties. Less transparent than trees

Limited to relatively simple decisions and uncertainties. Many simplifying assumptions usually have to be made to obtain closed form solutions.
