Resource Management
Identifies, acquires, and manages the resources needed for project completion.
established project management guidelines definition
Project Resource Management includes the processes to identify, acquire, and manage the resources needed for the successful completion of the project. These processes ensure that the right resources will be available to the project manager and project team at the right time and place. In an AI-augmented project, resources include both human team members and agent actors with delegated capabilities; the resource management plan covers their identification, capabilities, RACI assignments, and acquisition.
