# Resource Allocation Skill

Systematic resource planning across portfolio for optimal utilization.

## Purpose

This skill provides a framework for:
- Capacity planning across projects
- Resource conflict identification
- Skills gap analysis
- Allocation optimization
- Utilization monitoring

---

## Prerequisites

Before resource allocation, ensure:

| Prerequisite | Required For | Source |
|--------------|--------------|--------|
| Resource inventory | Capacity baseline | HR/Resource management |
| Project demands | Allocation needs | Project managers |
| Skills matrix | Gap analysis | HR/Training |
| Availability calendar | Time planning | Team calendars |

---

## Resource Allocation Gates

### Gate 1: Resource Inventory

**Objective:** Establish baseline of available resources

**Actions:**
1. List all available resources (people, teams)
2. Document skills per resource
3. Capture availability (FTE, dates)
4. Note constraints (PTO, training, etc.)

**Output:** `docs/pmo/{date}/resource-inventory.md`

**Inventory Template:**

| Resource | Role | Skills | Availability | Current Allocation |
|----------|------|--------|--------------|-------------------|
| [Name] | [Role] | [Skills] | [FTE] | [Projects] |

---

### Gate 2: Demand Analysis

**Objective:** Understand resource demand across portfolio

**Actions:**
1. Collect resource requests from projects
2. Categorize by role/skill
3. Map to timeline
4. Aggregate total demand

**Demand Template:**

| Project | Role/Skill | FTE Needed | Start | End | Priority |
|---------|-----------|------------|-------|-----|----------|
| [Project] | [Role] | [FTE] | [Date] | [Date] | [1-5] |

**Output:** `docs/pmo/{date}/resource-demand.md`

---

### Gate 3: Gap Analysis

**Objective:** Identify mismatches between supply and demand

**Actions:**
1. Compare inventory to demand
2. Identify capacity gaps (over/under)
3. Identify skill gaps
4. Document timeline conflicts

**Gap Types:**

| Gap Type | Definition | Impact |
