QA?Two types of resources ● Bottleneck - any resource whose capacity is equal to or less than the demand placed upon it ● Non-Bottleneck - any resource whose capacity is greater than the demand placed divide that time into four elements: ● Setup - the time the part spends waiting for a resource, while the resource is preparing itself to work on the part ● Process time - the amount of time the part time the part spends in line for a resource while the resource is busy working on something else ahead of it ● Wait time - the time the part waits, not for a resource, but for another part so they can

piling up at the bottleneck.” Resource Utilization “The wait time is the ‘percentage of time busy’ divided by the ‘percentage of time idle.’ In other words, if a resource is fifty percent busy, then if a resource is ninety percent busy, the wait time is ‘ninety percent divided by ten percent’, or nine hours. In other words, our task would wait in queue nine times longer than if the resource were

This approach focuses on an integrated government-contractor release team, but could be more resource intensive. Figure 7 Multiple Release Team Example Management of Agile development requires includes a risk of failure, and continuous prototyping gives program managers and users a powerful resource to reduce risk, quickly integrate new technologies, and identify innovative solutions that leverage using a services-type contract for Agile development. Contract incentives are time consuming and resource intensive to manage, and can lead to a contentious working relationship between the government
