As the project manager for a software development project, you need to determine how many team members and what skills are required to complete the project work. Which action should you take?
Consult the human resources department to assign available staff to the project.
Use the staffing levels from a previous project as a template.
Wait until the project is underway to see what resources are needed.
Decompose the project deliverables into smaller tasks and estimate the needed resources for each task.
To determine the number and type of resources required for a project, the project manager should break down the project deliverables into smaller, manageable tasks by creating a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS). This allows for accurate estimation of resources needed for each task, ensuring the project is properly staffed. Consulting human resources or using previous project staffing without adjustments may not account for the unique requirements and scope of the current project. Waiting until the project is underway can lead to resource shortages, delays, or budget overruns.
