Estimating Resource Requirements - Non-Person Resources
September 14, 2008 | Author: PM Hut | Filed under: Cost Estimating, Cost Management, Project Management for Beginners
Estimating Resource Requirements - Non-Person Resources (#9 in the Hut A Quick Guide to Project Management)
By Manjeet Singh
You may also need to factor in the availability of nonperson resources such as supplies, equipment and facilities. To do this, create a nonperson availability sheet similar to previous example:
| WBS | Activity | Resource needed | Time in hours | Date (s) needed |
| 4.1 | Design brochure |
|
80 | 4 to 29 April |
| 4.2 | Brochure review meeting |
|
3 | 4 May |
| 4.3 | Make copies of draft brochure |
|
2 | 5 May |
Now that you have an idea of your resource requirements and their availability, go back to your Gantt chart. You might need to re-adjust it in order to take into account your team members’ or other nonperson resources’ availability.
