Now in the example I'll be using I have a 350 person programme to support. As previously defined I want to apportion the High-Level Estimate we should have calculated in the first part of this article. For a 350 person programme this equates to:
PMO FTE = 1/5 x N^2/3
= 1/5 x 350^2/3
= 1/5 x 49.66
= 9.9 |
first step is to apportion the 9.9 FTEs by Functional Area. You can see below I have done this by multipying 9.9 by the 'Apportionment' column to get a estimate for each area.
