overallocations
Overallocations refer to a situation where the demand for a resource exceeds its available capacity within a given timeframe. This can occur in various contexts, including project management, human resources, and manufacturing. In project management, an overallocation typically means that a specific person or team has been assigned to more tasks or projects than they can realistically complete within the allotted time. This can lead to missed deadlines, decreased quality of work, and burnout among team members.
Human resource overallocations can manifest as employees being assigned too many responsibilities or working excessive overtime,
Identifying and managing overallocations is crucial for efficient resource utilization and successful project or operational outcomes.
