Hello

I have build a model that predicts the progress of a multi-departmental project based on employees of the different departments.

The model is quite complex as there are lots of interdependencies.

What I want now to do is to find the optimum number of employees for each department. These numbers should be within a minimum and a maximum range and the goal is to meet a deadline.

Do you know how can I do that? Do I need scenario analysis? I have never used it, can you walk me through?

Thanks!
