Sometimes I cringe at this topic. Here is my take: It depends.
What is the historical staffing level? What is the skill level of the staff? What is size of the work load to be performed? How comfortable is management with the size of the staff and their load? I know of companies with good sized installations and a very small staff, sometimes only one technical person for the mainframe environment. Conversely I know companies with just the opposite on both ends (small installation and large staff). YMMV And if you want something to think on, I'll tell you my situation privately. <G> On Fri, 28 May 2010 15:19:50 -0600, Kopischke, David G. <[email protected]> wrote: >I know this has been discussed many times in the past, but I thought I'd >bring it up again. > >Does anyone know of any research involving recommendations for staffing >levels for z shops ???
