Setting the stage to thinking about your work.
We built the Professional Services function of ScopeStack around the concept of defining minimum units of effort to complete a piece of work. Identifying those pieces of units of work allows you to figure out a few different things:
-
You can calculate the total PS effort on a project by scaling different portions of the individual efforts.
-
You can associate the pieces of effort with a person who will complete the work.
-
That person has a cost to your company and a rate you will bill the client for their work.
-
Using the amount of total effort for a particular person (resource) and their billable rates, you can calculate a project's price.
-
Using the amount of total effort for a resource and its cost, you can determine what the project will cost your company.
-
You can use price and cost to determine your margin on the project as a whole.
This core financial function allows ScopeStack to take three variables (Effort, Rate, and Cost) and determine the Professional Services' financial picture.
