One of the more compelling issues that a project manager needs to deal with is a constant reminder to do more with less. Over time, the luxury of having resources in place without conflicts due to other project activities diminishes substantially. The project manager will need to engage sponsors and stakeholders to ensure the appropriate level and types of resources required to get the job done are available when needed. In this course, you will see how the project manager and team use the Estimate Activity Resources process to help determine resource requirements – in the form of cost or time.

Materials in this class are based on the text, A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge, (PMBOK® Guide)
