There are many areas where we won't have a choice on the number of resources that are made available to us. Take the opposite case - a startup. A startup (especially a bootstrapped one) will have a chronic lack of resources. In your case, the best would be to focus on other projects where you can get to work with minimal resources. An example would be to lead a volunteer effort. Since its voluntary, you need to squeeze time out of (sometimes unwilling) people and that experience would help. Other thing to think of is to work on a few personal projects (writing and publishing a book, organize a large event etc.) where you may not have the luxury of extra resources. Hope this helps. Best, Raj Thanks KK.

Having worked in the offshore outsourcing space for the last7 years or so, the current trend is just the opposite. In a lot of projects that I work we have shadow resources in all of them in the name of team building, knowledge building etc.. So we effectively work with 1.5 times the size of the required project team. Its a challenge to keep them engaged and also be productive at the same time......I am sure this is true with a lot of big offshoring companies back in India in this space Would be glad to get your thoughts on this...
