This post is Food for Thought for the people who have been through it or have been into handling or managing it. The idea is very interesting, Jhakaas (superb), that how different companies organize their bench strength in different way. Is there any way we can figure out the direct co-relation between the productivity of people over a period of time on bench? How long should you keep someone on bench for maximum productivity? Is there any mathematical equation where I can put my variable factors and the system can give me the probable time period to get the maximum productivity from people.
Different organizations have different ideas about bench also. Some directly relate it to the billability. Some main some good bench strength for business. Some can’t afford any bench. Some use it to explore new things, doing some research, exploring new business and technologies. Some ask people to stay home. Some even don’t provide computer system to work on. It all varies but lets say the variable factors take into account all these conditions in a way or other.
