Hi everyone,
I hope this message reaches you in the best health and happiness. I already found some information about Manpower Planning in general, but I need more details on how to allocate resources in the IT industry. The situation is a little different because of the project work. I would be very glad if someone working in the IT environment could share his/her experience with me.
How do you plan the manpower for different projects? Is this done by the HR department or by every Team Leader individually? How do you calculate the budget (maybe for someone who is without a project for some days)?
I am looking forward to your answers. If you need more information from me for your response, please don't hesitate to contact me.
Have a great day ahead, Ramona

Hi Ramona,
Greetings!
Manpower planning in IT companies is normally done by project leaders in coordination with the HR team. Project-wise, identify the resources (such as developers, senior developers, team leads, etc.) required based on the project's duration. For your convenience, keep these details in a spreadsheet and track the time each resource spends on each project (in case someone handles multiple projects). By using a spreadsheet with simple formulas, you will be able to identify bench resources as well.
I hope this information is helpful to you.
Thanks,

Hi Ramona,
Resource allocation is one of the critical factors in IT. In the case of the long term, the company's strategic plans need to be taken into account in terms of expansion, focus, and roadmap. For short-term plans, it's important to involve the respective Team Leaders along with HR.
Best wishes!
