System resources, such as available processing power, memory, and disk space
Network bandwidth
Available money from the IT budget
But some may not be so obvious:
The services of operations personnel, other admins, or even an administrative assistant
Time (often of critical importance when the time involves things such as the amount of time during which system backups may take place)
The important thing to note is that it is highly valuable to take a complete inventory of those resources that are available to you, and to keep it current — a lack of "situational awareness" when it comes to available resources can often be worse than no awareness at all.
