Project Resource Management

Resource management can make or break your project. Secure an insufficient amount of money, equipment, or, most importantly, staff, and your plans can quickly go awry. In this course, instructor Claudine Peet shares a step-by-step process for effectively managing resources throughout the project life cycle. Learn about the roles required for a project team, as well as how to set your team up for success by defining a resource management approach that's tailored to your project. Get tips for negotiating resource commitment, acquiring external resources, and establishing a team charter that helps all team members understand their responsibilities. Then, discover how to carry out a resource capability assessment and identify training and development opportunities that can address skill gaps. Claudine wraps up the course by explaining how to track your progress, deal with conflict, and disband the team when the project has ended.
