## RESOURCE ALLOCATION STRATEGY

### Option 1: Sequential Allocation (Lower Cost)

- Allocate Phase 2 resources first
- Complete Phase 2, then allocate Phase 3
- Continue sequentially
- **Advantage:** Lower peak FTE, better resource utilization
- **Disadvantage:** Longer total timeline

### Option 2: Parallel Allocation (Faster)

- Allocate Phase 2 and Phase 3 in parallel
- Start Phase 4 while Phase 2/3 complete
- Overlap phases where possible
- **Advantage:** Faster completion
- **Disadvantage:** Higher peak FTE, more coordination needed

### Option 3: Phased Parallel (Balanced)

- Start Phase 2 immediately
- Start Phase 3 after Phase 2 begins (1-2 month delay)
- Start Phase 4 after Phase 2/3 are 50% complete
- Start Phase 5 after Phase 4 is 50% complete
- Start Phase 6 after Phase 4 is complete
- **Advantage:** Balanced approach
- **Disadvantage:** Requires careful coordination

## RISK MITIGATION

### Resource Availability Risks

1. **Risk:** Key personnel not available
   - **Mitigation:** Identify multiple candidates, start recruitment early

2. **Risk:** Budget constraints
   - **Mitigation:** Phased approach, prioritize critical resources

3. **Risk:** Tool procurement delays
   - **Mitigation:** Start procurement early, have alternatives ready

4. **Risk:** Infrastructure setup delays
   - **Mitigation:** Plan infrastructure early, use cloud services
