Ramp-up occurs when there is a sudden increase in resource requirement in the planning phase, and ramp-down occurs when requirements decrease during the execution or closure phase.
Poorly managed ramp-up and ramp-down processes negatively impact organizational efficiency. They result in increased bench size, unplanned attrition, billing losses, timeline delay, budget overruns, and last-minute firefighting for resources. Therefore, managing them effectively is essential.
