THE PROBLEM
Businesses and organizations need to find and schedule their human and financial capital for the tasks they take on. Doing so impacts their time management, hiring needs, and preparation for growth. There must be a tool to aid in resource management to solve this need. Our sponsor aims to provide intelligent recommendations for staffing work across their customer organizations. We want to leverage resourcing data to optimize the utilization of human capital, better predict resource demand for future projects, and reduce dependency on human intervention.
Our Solution
Our proposal leverages resourcing data to optimize the utilization of human capital, better predict resource demand for future projects, and reduce dependency on human intervention. We provide our sponsor with a product specification that highlights key insights into their problem space and illustrates a solution and desired end state.
