Resource Loading and Cost Budgeting Exercise
Introduction
Tanjavore Consultancy Services recently got an assignment from People Bank. To implement a core
banking solution at Coimbatore. The total cost for this project is estimated to be INR 146 Cr.
Expected time for completion is 12 months, 12 months warranty post completion of project and 12
months maintenance support after completion of warranty period.
Location
The constraint from client side on location is there should be only one offshore location so choosing
a location becomes increasingly important. We have chosen Bangalore as the base location for our
project, as it is nearest to the client. Also, we can implement the Near Shore model through
Bangalore and no of resources on the onsite location will reduce.
Attrition and resource unavailability Risk By choosing the location as Bangalore, we reduced both
the risks as unlike Indore, attrition rates are not very high and resources are available at Bangalore.
Deadline Extension Risk The expected completion time in this project is 12 months. The major
delaying risks are Rework and Contingencies due to client related delays. We have eliminated this
risk by allocating more resources ex: Design is 400 hours job, it is mostly done at client locations so
20% extra effort is required, this converts to 80 man hours. So, to complete job in 1 month, we hired
three Designers instead of 2.
Dearth of Client Interaction We are following waterfall model in this project where client
interaction is less and it is possible that client becomes unhappy because they cannot keep track of
the project. To overcome this, we decided to go with Near Shore location, Bangalore.
Critical Paths in the project
Project construction and unit testing process is where we can go in a non-liner fashion. The process
is simplified in the block diagram below.
