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.

  2. Team Charter
  3. Risk Register
  4. Schedule Baseline
