German term or phrase: ...der Aufwand den Ressourcen und Terminen zugeordnet werden
Offensichtlich gibt es noch Themenblöcke, die konzeptionell zu bearbeiten sind. Hier müsste der Aufwand den Ressourcen und Terminen zugeordnet werden.

Context: refers to the introduction of a new SAP system.

Does this make sense to anyone? Thanks.

Aniello Scognamiglio: 11:19am Jan 11, 2005: What's the problem? -

...has to be consistent with the available resources and the deadlines.
Explanation:
I think it just means that the amount of work ('man-hours' below) that is invested in this part of the project has to fit in with the available resources and the deadlines - in other words, they have to 'cut their cloth to suit their measure'. I would translate it thus:
"Obviously, there are still whole areas remaining to be dealt with. The number of man-hours invested in these areas has to be consistent with the available resources and the deadlines."

On reflection, I would change the first sentence of my proposal to: \"Obviously, there are still whole areas remaining to be analysed conceptually.\"

I meant \"expenses\" in the 2nd version, of course...
