Scavenge for project resources

Tell us what you think about scavenging resources to support your project, as featured in the latest Project Management Blueprint e-newsletter. What resources do you commonly utilize when budgets shrink and deadlines move up in the midst of a project? Are there resources you’ve utilized in a pinch that you won’t turn to again? Have you ever gotten resistance from upper management or clients when you’ve tried to think outside of the project resource box?
