Notes:

  • Variance Analysis: Budget is under control; however, cybersecurity costs are expected to rise due to increased threat assessments. Contingency funds have been partially used to cover minor delays in resource procurement.

  • Resource Allocation: Adjustments in personnel availability and deployment are underway to offset initial delays.

2.2 Resource Utilization

  • Personnel:

    • Current headcount: 45 out of 50 positions filled.

    • Shortage of cybersecurity specialists is impacting project timeline.

  • Materials:

    • Projected delays in hardware availability due to supply chain interruptions; alternative vendors are being reviewed.

    • 60% of planned hardware has been ordered with a projected delivery delay of 2 weeks.
