Good Evening!
I am having trouble getting the last step of this worksheet done.
Basically I have 1 Budget and 3 projects types. I want to weight the projects by importance but maintain a balanced budget.
For example:
Budget: 1500
Project A: 5 Team Member
Project B: 4 Team Members
Project C: 6 Team Members
I used to just do 1500/15 (Total Team Members) and it was $100 per member on the team. Meaning Project A would be a $500 project, Project B would be a $400 project, Project C would be $600.
However now I want to prioritize, because the work on the different projects is much more complex than others but don't lend themselves to larger teams or some are a lot of low skill work so we have more people.
The number on the team matters so currently I am doing:
Budget 1500
High Complexity: (Budget/Members)*1.2
Medium Complexity: (Budget/Members)*1
Low Complexity: (Budget/Members)*0.8
[TABLE="width: 500"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]Project[/TD]
[TD]Complexity[/TD]
[TD]Members[/TD]
[TD]Cost[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]A[/TD]
[TD]High[/TD]
[TD]3[/TD]
[TD]360[/TD]

[TD]B[/TD]
[TD]High[/TD]
[TD]5[/TD]
[TD]600[/TD]

[TD]C[/TD]
[TD]Medium[/TD]
[TD]2[/TD]
[TD]200[/TD]

[TD]D[/TD]
[TD]Low[/TD]
[TD]5[/TD]
[TD]400[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]Total[/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD]15[/TD]
[TD]1560[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]
So now I'm over budget $60 so I'll adjust the multiplier but then I am under budget then over and then under never getting to equality Nirvana. Because the Members and the Budgets are changing monthly I need to figure out a way to make excel calculate what I should weight each project type (High, Medium, Low) so that the budget is always balanced.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
