When we think about project manager goals, our minds go to Goldilocks and the Three Bears<\/a> (stay with us for a second). Just like the wandering child, PMs are always searching for the \u201cjust right\u201d option. Only instead of the optimal temperature of porridge or the firmness of a chair, the sought-after prize is an optimal balance of strategic assignments among your team.<\/p>\n

Teams that are over or under capacity spell trouble for your project success rates and your bottom line. If you place too much work on team members, they\u2019re prone to costly burnout<\/a> and turnover<\/a>. But if things are too boring, they\u2019ll get frustrated and mentally check out, which impacts productivity and profitability<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The key to serving up a just-right balance of billable assignments and downtime<\/a> is to master workload management<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Effective workload management results in the best use of your team\u2019s time and talent. Instead of simply doling out random tasks based on hunches, you base assignments on resource availability and employee skillsets. This strategy also creates a more even distribution of work, ensuring everyone can meaningfully contribute.<\/p>\n
