But when the rubber meets the road, we all have to find a way to make it work.

 All that pontificating and consulting has lead to a request to write a chapter in an upcoming book on this very subject. But before I blindly write based on my experience (and that of my clients), I want to listen.  What works for you? How do you really manage your resource loads? What techniques do you use to attempt to get all the work done without burning out your people?
