Projektikohtaisuus

Projektikohtaisuus refers to an approach in project management and resource allocation where resources are specifically assigned to individual projects for their duration. This means that a person, equipment, or budget allocated to a particular project is dedicated solely to that project until its completion or until they are formally reassigned. This contrasts with resource pooling, where resources are shared across multiple projects simultaneously.

The primary benefit of projektikohtaisuus is enhanced focus and commitment. When resources are dedicated, team members can immerse themselves fully in the project's objectives, leading to potentially higher quality and faster completion times. It can also foster a strong sense of ownership and accountability within the project team.

However, projektikohtaisuus can also lead to inefficiencies. If a dedicated resource has downtime on one project, they cannot be utilized elsewhere, potentially increasing overall costs. It also requires careful forecasting and planning to ensure resources are consistently utilized. The inflexibility of dedicated resources can be a drawback when project priorities shift or unforeseen resource needs arise on other initiatives. The decision to implement projektikohtaisuus often depends on the project's criticality, complexity, and the organization's overall resource management strategy.
