What are agile considerations for project resource management?
Collaboration to boost productivity, less time for centralized decision making, agreements made so resources are supplied on time
What are the inputs for plan resource management?
OPAs (policies, templates, historical info), PMP (quality MP, scope baseline), EEFs (culture, geography, resources, marketplace), project docs (project schedule, requirements, risk register, stakeholder registers), project charter
What are the tools used for plan resource management?
Meetings, expert judgement, data representation (charts), organizational theory
What are the outputs for plan resource mangagement?
Resource MP, team charter, project doc updates (assumption log, risk register)
What is a responsibility assignment matrix?
Assigns responsibilities in a matrix
What are the inputs for estimate activity resources process?
PMP (resources MP, scope baseline), project docs (activity attributes, activity list, assumptions, cost estimates, resource calendars, risks), EEFs (resource location, availability, team skills, culture, marketplace), OPAs (policies, historical info)
What are the tools used for the estimate activity resources process?
Meetings, expert judgement, data analysis (alternative), bottom-up estimating, parametric estimating, PMIS, analogous estimating
What are the outputs of the estimate activity resources process?
Resource requirements, basis of estimates, resource breakdown structure (RBS), project doc updates (activity attributes, assumptions, lessons learned)
What are the components of the resource MP?
Identification of resources (how), acquiring of resources, roles and responsibility (including authority), project organizational charts, project team resource management, training, team development, resource control, recognition plan
What are the inputs for acquire resources?
OPAs (policies, historical info, lessons learned), EEFs (marketplace, geography), project docs (schedule, resource calendars, resource requirements, stakeholder register), PMP (resource MP, procurement MP, cost baseline)
What are the tools for acquire resources?
Decision making, interpersonal and team skills, pre-assignment, virtual teams
What are the outputs of acquire resources?
Change requests, PMP updates (resource MP, cost baseline), resource calendar, project doc updates (lessons learned, project schedule, RBS, resource requirements, risk register, stakeholder register), EEF updates (resource availability, amount of consumable resources), project team assignments, physical resource requirements, OPA updates (related documentation)
What are the inputs for develop team?
OPAs (lessons learned), EEFs (human resource management, team member skills, geography), PMP (resource MP), project documents (lessons learned, project schedule, project team assignments, resource calendar, team charter)
What are the tools for develop team?
Interpersonal and team skills (conflict management, influence, motivation, negotiation, team building), training, meetings, individual and team assessments, recognition and rewards, virtual teams, colocation, communication technology
What are the outputs of develop team?
Project doc updates (lessons learned, project schedule, team assignments, resource calendar, team charter), EEF updates, OPA updates (employee dev records, skill assessments, training requirements, personnel assessment), PMP updates (resource MP), team performance assessments, change requests
When should PMs provide recognition?
Throughout lifecycle, if project is completed ahead of schedule, and if deliverables exceed expectations
What are some times for motivation?
Participation in decision making, encouraging people to work independently, encouraging someone to act
What are the team development stages (Tuckman ladder)
Forming, storming (brainstorming), norming (works together), performing (function as unit), adjourning (work is complete)
What are the inputs for manage team?
OPAs (corporate apparel, certificates of appreciation), PMP (resource MP), project documents (issue log, lessons learned register, project team assignments, team charter), EEF (human resources), team performance assets, work performance reports
What are the tools used for manage team?
Interpersonal and team skills (conflict management, decision making, emotional intelligence, influencing, leadership), PMIS
What are the outputs of manage team?
EEF updates (personnel skills), project doc updates (issue log, lessons learned, project team assignments), PMP updates (resource MP, schedule baseline, cost baseline), change requests
What are conflict resolution techniques?
Postpone - avoid/withdraw Emphasize agreement - smooth/accommodate Compromise/reconcile Force/direct - pushes viewpoint at expense of others Collaborate/problem solve
What are the inputs to control resources?
OPAs (policies, lessons learned), project documents (issue log, lessons learned, physical resource assignments, project schedule, RBS, resource requirements, risk register), PMP (resource MP), work performance data, agreements
What are the tools used to control resoureces?
Problem solving, data analysis (alternative, cost-benefit, performance reviews, trend analysis), interpersonal and team skills (negotiating, influencing), PMIS
What are the outputs of control resources?
Work performance info, change requests, PMP updates (resource MP, schedule baseline, cost baseline), project doc updates (assumptions, issues, lessons learned, physical resource assignments, RBS, risks)
