Guide To Manage Resource In Project Management

Any Project Manager is worth their position and experience in project resource management because managing people and projects together are the scope of any project management. To help an organization’s workforce perform at its best, I will share the most used resource management tools and best practices along with some of the most effective resource management techniques.

What Is Project Resource Management?

Project resource management is the process of forecasting, collecting, and managing the entire team, required tools, and resources that are crucial to finish a project successfully. It also includes planning resources and their time for a smooth flow.

A “resource” is a generic term for a person or tool (such as software or hardware) that is needed to finish a project. Human resources and equipment are the two main categories of resources in project management. Time and money could also be viewed as project resources.

The Process

Below are several crucial steps in the project resource management process:

1.       Resource Management
2.       Calculating and allocating resources
3.       Obtaining Resources
4.       Organizing and leading the team
5.       Continuously assessing further resource needs

You specify the requirements necessary to complete the project in resource planning. Making a work breakdown structure or another resource planning visualization may be required. Then you perform resource allocation (based on the resource availability) and estimate resources for project delivery to decide how much time each team member will spend working on the project.

Following the completion of project planning, you must obtain resources (internally or externally) to finish the work before building and overseeing the project team. Finally, you evaluate resources frequently to keep an eye on and manage project progress.
