Frequently Asked Questions
What is resource allocation?
Resource allocation is the process of assigning available resources (people, time, budget) to projects and tasks. Effective allocation ensures no one is over-allocated (leading to burnout) or under-allocated (wasted capacity).
What is over-allocation?
Over-allocation occurs when a person is assigned more work than they have capacity for (e.g., 120% of their available hours). This leads to missed deadlines, quality issues, and burnout. Sustainable allocation is typically 75-85%.
