This study was divided into three phases. Phase I was essentially a data collection activity. Phase II reviews the information from Phase I, enhances it with some recommended industry practices and recommends a staffing model for project delivery, to optimize the organization's ability to handle future workloads. Phase III of this study will consider implementing the recommendations from the Phase II analysis. 75 p
