8 1 Plan Resource Management

8.1 Plan Resource Management Explained

8.1 Plan Resource Management Explained

Plan Resource Management is a critical process in project management that involves creating a resource management plan. This plan outlines how resources will be acquired, allocated, and managed throughout the project lifecycle. Here, we will delve into three key concepts of Plan Resource Management: Resource Management Plan, Roles and Responsibilities, and Resource Calendars.

1. Resource Management Plan

The Resource Management Plan is a subsidiary plan of the project management plan. It provides detailed guidance on how to manage the project resources. This plan includes procedures for resource acquisition, allocation, and release. It also defines the resource requirements, roles, and responsibilities.

Example: For a software development project, the resource management plan might include guidelines for hiring developers, assigning tasks to team members, and tracking resource utilization. This plan ensures that all team members understand how resources will be managed throughout the project.

2. Roles and Responsibilities

Roles and Responsibilities define the part each team member plays in the project. This includes specifying who is responsible for what tasks and activities. Clear roles and responsibilities help in avoiding confusion and ensuring that all tasks are completed efficiently.

Example: In a construction project, roles and responsibilities might include the project manager overseeing the entire project, the site supervisor managing daily operations, and the architect designing the building. Each role has specific tasks and responsibilities, ensuring that the project runs smoothly.

3. Resource Calendars

Resource Calendars provide information on when resources are available for use. This includes detailing the working hours, holidays, and other time-off periods for each resource. Resource calendars help in planning and scheduling tasks effectively.

Example: For a marketing campaign, the resource calendar might include the availability of the marketing team, graphic designers, and copywriters. This calendar helps in scheduling tasks such as creating promotional materials and launching the campaign at the right times.
