Does the
                  company have multiple projects going all at the same time? 
                  Do you have a Capacity Plan? 
                Capacity plans require: 
                
                  - Assignment of resources
                        from a common pool to all project schedules,
 
                         
                   
                  - Software to help
                        merge the data and display the histograms,
 
                         
                   
                  - Commitment by management
                        to set and change strategic priorities between projects
 
                         
                   
                  - Resistance
                        by management to say “just do it!” (known
                        as a Nike project)
 
                                                 In the simplified example to the left, in
                  what month can management initiate a new project that is not
                  higher in priority than the other four projects?  |
