KG Program Staffing Calculator
From Inputs to Insights: Program Staffing Clarity in Minutes
The KG Staffing Calculator is designed to help PMO leaders quickly translate program context into realistic staffing models. Large initiatives often stall because resource estimates are either too generic or too optimistic; this tool provides a structured way to balance scope, complexity, and risk with the right mix of roles.
What It Does
At its core, the calculator takes a few simple inputs—program duration, number of workstreams, sites, and level of complexity or risk—and applies weighting to role and program types to estimate the effective effort required for each role.
Rather than starting from scratch or relying on guesswork, PMO leaders can select common program archetypes such as System Implementation, Merger Integration, Culture and Ways of Working, AI Adoption, or Portfolio/Multi-Program and see how role needs flex accordingly.
The staffing plan view makes trade-offs transparent: leaders can test different headcounts or allocations and immediately see the impact on hours and cost. Totals for weekly and program costs update automatically, making the tool as valuable for scenario planning as for initial estimates.
Your Outcome
Ultimately, the KG Staffing Calculator supports faster, evidence-based decisions—helping PMOs justify resource requests, compare options, and set programs up with the right people, in the right roles, at the right scale.
Who It’s For
This calculator is designed for:
PMO leaders, program directors, transformation leaders, and portfolio managers who need to quickly determine the right mix of roles, effort, and cost for large, complex initiatives. It’s especially valuable where program staffing needs vary widely by scope, complexity, and risk.
