Resource Management Plan
– Project PASS PMP
Purpose
This plan defines how human and physical resources will be:
- Identified
- Assigned
- Managed
- Developed
- Released
It ensures that all project contributors understand their roles, availability, and responsibilities — and that capacity aligns with cost and schedule baselines.
Resource Types
| Type | Description | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Human | Project team members, subject matter experts | Sponsor, PM, Developers |
| Physical | Non-human assets required for project execution | GitHub, Obsidian, Quartz publishing tools |
Roles and Responsibilities
| Role | Responsibilities |
|---|---|
| Sponsor | Approves team assignments, validates team structure |
| Project Manager | Maintains RACI, resolves conflicts, monitors performance |
| Contributors | Deliver work as scheduled, track effort, raise blockers |
| Reviewers | Perform audits, review deliverables, give feedback |
Full responsibility matrix available in the RACI Matrix.
Resource Estimation and Planning
- Estimations are based on Resource Estimates
- Resource hours are synced with the Cost Estimates
- Time-phase data is also reflected in Resource Calendars
Resource Availability
Availability is managed through:
- Team-submitted hours
- Sprint or phase alignment
- Calendar constraints documented in Resource Calendars
Conflicts are resolved by the PM and tracked using the Team Charter.
Team Development and Training
Any required skill gaps or onboarding needs will be defined in the Training Plan.
Common training areas include:
- Markdown publishing
- Quartz/Obsidian configuration
- EVM reporting interpretation
Conflict and Performance Resolution
- Conflicts are handled first at the PM level
- Escalations go to the Sponsor
- Underperformance or burnout will trigger a team retrospective or a documented reset in the Team Charter
Resource Release Plan
Resources will be released at:
- Milestone completion (see: Milestone List)
- Final publishing of content sections
- Closeout of the project
Release planning is aligned with Funding Requirements and team agreements.
