Project and Portfolio Resource Management in Jira & BigPicture

[#1]

Resource Management is a complex corporate process. According to PMI, most organizations consider it the number one challenge they aim to meet. A survey conducted by PMI in 2008 allowed to identify five maturity levels in portfolio resource management and provided an insight into the challenges that organizations struggle to meet when optimizing their resource utilization.

A vast majority of Resource Management issues can be resolved through the implementation of appropriate software tools. Those, however, generate new risks and challenges, and - at some point - require well-established processes and accurate data for proper functioning.

BigPicture is an excellent example of such a solution. The application distributed in the form of a Jira add-on is used by over 20 thousand teams worldwide.

We've just released a new guide for Project & Portfolio Managers. This paper is a guide to a successful implementation of portfolio-level Resource Management through the use of BigPicture and Jira. You will learn from it how to:
