Restraining forces include other projects occurring at the same time and budget constraints, while compelling forces include the potential retirement of 30% of the workforce within 5 years and the need for additional resources for a new initiative. The document encourages identifying relevant restraining and compelling forces at the beginning of workforce planning to leverage supportive forces and mitigate obstacles.
