How can internal resources and time be planned efficiently?

Short answer: Plan data collection early, assign clear responsibilities, and use templates or software to reduce delays and avoid overestimation[113].

Grubengold’s practical tips warn companies not to underestimate internal effort. Many SMEs misjudge the time needed to gather data from different departments and fall behind[113]. Set early who delivers which data and how the project is coordinated. Excel templates or specialized tools help monitor deadlines and keep control[113]. It is also important to allow buffers for review loops and appoint clear project leadership.
