All 8 Documented Cases
कौशल-कार्य असमानता और गलत आवंटन (Skills Mismatch & Misallocation)
₹8,000–₹25,000 per rework incident; 5–20% of project hours consumed by rework; estimated ₹2–8 crore annually for 500-person IT operations team.Without comprehensive skill databases and real-time competency tracking, project managers lack visibility to match task complexity to consultant capability. Under-skilled resource assignment leads to poor operational output, rework, delays, and customer dissatisfaction.
ग्राहक प्रभाव और अनुबंध हानि (Customer Impact & Contract Loss)
1–5% annual contract value loss per SLA breach; typical IT maintenance contract: ₹5–50 crore; estimated loss: ₹5–20 crore per vendor.Inadequate capacity planning leads to bottlenecks in critical IT operations (infrastructure, maintenance, incident response). Slow response times, missed SLAs, and degraded service quality damage customer relationships and trigger contract non-renewal or termination.
परियोजना विलंब और बजट अधिक खर्च (Project Delays & Budget Overruns)
₹5–15 lakh per delayed IT project (8–12 week delay); 5–10% average project budget overrun in Indian IT operations (typical project budget: ₹50–500 lakh).Absence of demand forecasting for IT personnel (by skill, competency, and availability) creates resource gaps. When consultants' schedules are not tracked comprehensively, project managers either under-allocate (causing delays) or over-allocate (causing burnout and quality issues). Both scenarios drive cost overruns.
इंटर-ब्रांच और इंटर-एंटिटी चार्ज रेकॉनसिलिएशन विफलता
₹100,000–₹500,000 per annum (unrecovered inter-entity charges); 10–15 manual hours/month reconciliation laborService centers (e.g., HR, Finance, IT shared services) provide support across multiple branches/entities. Costs must be pooled, allocated using defensible keys, invoiced monthly with IGST, and matched to recipient project costs. Manual reconciliation gaps cause unallocated costs (sitting in corporate overhead) or double-allocation (same cost charged to two projects). Month-end close delays due to manual cross-checks.
