9 - PROJECT HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT

Human resource planning is used to determine and identify human resources with the necessary skills required
for project success. The human resource management plan describes how the roles and responsibilities, reporting
relationships, and staffing management will be addressed and structured within a project. It also contains the
staffing management plan including timetables for staff acquisition and release, identification of training needs,
team-building strategies, plans for recognition and rewards programs, compliance considerations, safety issues,
and the impact of the staffing management plan on the organization.

Effective human resource planning should consider and plan for the availability of or competition for scarce
resources. Project roles can be designated for teams or team members. Those teams or team members can
be from inside or outside the organization performing the project. Other projects may be competing for human
resources with the same competencies or skill sets. Given these factors, project costs, schedules, risks, quality, and
other project areas may be significantly affected.
