Resource Management
Planning, acquiring, and managing the team and physical resources the project needs.
Resource Management covers planning, acquiring, developing, managing, and controlling both team members and physical resources such as equipment, materials, and facilities. The Resource Management Plan defines roles, responsibilities, reporting relationships, and the staffing approach. A common exam trap conflates resource leveling with smoothing: leveling resolves over-allocation by delaying activities, which can extend the schedule and change the critical path, while smoothing adjusts work only within available float and leaves the critical path unchanged. Choose smoothing when the finish date is fixed.
