I have been asked by a client to help come up with a calculation for resource availability based on some given data. By resource, I mean a project manager. We need to determine an individual PM's availability based on the given data. I'm not a project management guy so I'm hoping someone here can steer me in the right direction.
The data we have is in the following form, with options in parenthesis:
PM Name, # Of Projects, Project Size (small, medium, large), Project Phase (submitted, proposal development, initiation, planning, executing, closout), Project Start Date, Project End Date, Project Work % Complete
Is there a way to quantify this data and come up with a calculation for Resource Availability? I told the client they need to assign some sort of numeric value to each of the relevant options in order to be able to calculate overall availability. But they want help with that too.
Are there any standard practices or examples for this sort of thing? Any help would be great. Thanks!
