When you hear \u201coverallocation,\u201d your mind probably jumps to overworked team members. But project managers can burn out just as fast.<\/p>\n

Wellingtone\u2019s 2021 State of Project Management report found that project management offices<\/a> can offer as many as 16 core services \u2013 and 57% of PMs believe their responsibilities will only increase in the future. Not only is that a lot to juggle, but that volume and variety of work forces PMs to constantly pivot to address time-sensitive demands that can change on a dime. This constant context switching<\/a> negatively impacts focus, productivity, and mental health.<\/p>\n

As the scope of day-to-day work increases for project managers, it gets harder to effectively manage people \u2013 especially on large teams.<\/p>\n

When PMs are stressed out<\/a> and operating under multiple tight deadlines, they have less time to make thoughtful decisions on who should be working on which assignment. This leads to ineffective staffing choices, over- and under-allocated resources, poor work quality, and frustrated employees and clients.<\/p>\n

To prevent this fallout, companies can hire a resource manager to take a significant amount of work off project managers\u2019 plates and to act as a strategic partner, guiding projects to success.<\/p>\n
