Resource Management Plan

A section of the project management plan that explains how people, equipment, and materials will be obtained, assigned, tracked, and governed throughout the project.

Key Points

  • Defines how to secure, assign, utilize, and release both team and physical resources.
  • Clarifies roles, responsibilities, reporting lines, and resource calendars (availability and constraints).
  • Specifies metrics, control thresholds, and escalation paths for resource issues and performance.
  • Aligns resource decisions with schedule, cost, procurement, and risk plans (e.g., leveling and smoothing rules).

Example

On a software project, the plan lists needed skill sets, when each role is required, the process for contracting surge testers, a RACI for code reviews, a resource calendar showing holidays, and control rules such as a 80% utilization target and an escalation path if a database admin is unavailable.

  4. Schedule Baseline

Advanced Project Management — Measuring Project Performance

Move beyond guesswork and status reporting. This course helps you measure real progress, spot problems early, and make confident decisions using proven project performance techniques. If you manage complex projects and want clearer visibility and control, this course is built for you.

This is not abstract theory. You’ll work step by step through Earned Value Management (EVM), learning how cost, schedule, and scope come together to show true performance. You’ll build a solid foundation in EVM concepts, understand why formulas work, and learn how performance data actually supports leadership decisions.

You’ll master Work Breakdown Structures (WBS), control accounts, and budget baselines, then apply core EVM metrics like EAC, TCPI, and variance analysis. Through a detailed real-world example, you’ll forecast outcomes, analyze trends, and understand contingencies and management reserves with confidence.

Learn how experienced project managers monitor performance, communicate results clearly, and take corrective action before projects slip. With practical exercises and hands-on analysis, you’ll be ready to apply EVM immediately. Enroll now and start managing performance with clarity and control.
