projects, and nuances of the project environment.

9.2.3 Acquire Project team: outputs

9.2.3.1 Project Staff Assignments

The project is staffed when appropriate people have been assigned to the team. The documentation of these
assignments can include a project team directory, memos to team members, and names inserted into other parts
of the project management plan, such as project organization charts and schedules.

9.2.3.2 resource calendars

Resource calendars document the time periods that each project team member is available to work on the project.
Creating a reliable schedule (Section 6.6.3.1) depends on having a good understanding of each person’s availability
and schedule constraints, including time zones, work hours, vacation time, local holidays, and commitments to
other projects.

9.2.3.3 Project Management Plan updates

Elements of the project management plan that may be updated include, but are not limited to, the human
resource management plan. For example, the person assigned to a predefined role may not fulfill all staffing
requirements outlined in the human resource management plan. When gaps occur, the project management plan
needs to be updated to change the team structure, roles, or responsibilities.
