Dear HR Professionals,

I have been searching for the process of manpower planning and couldn't find a pragmatic solution. I am the HR Manager of a project-based company, and it is next to impossible to do annual manpower planning. The company is growing at a rate of 400%, and the demand for manpower is skyrocketing. How do I do manpower planning in such circumstances?

Kindly provide a solution as soon as possible. Have a lovely HR day.
