ASWF Project Contribution Sustainability
summary
ASWF builds a project contribution matrix from member self-reports and project leader surveys using LFX Insights metrics, revealing that many projects most companies call critical have only one or two people consistently dedicating time, tactical maintenance is mostly covered but strategic work averages ~25% of needed resources with only one project above 50%, and activity spikes after 2019. The matrix exposes a matchmaking problem between pledged FTEs and projects and prompts targeted reallocation to hit roadmaps.
