What is Resource Management?
The aim of resource management is to identify employees as well as their skills, to assign tasks to these employees and to ensure that their individual strengths have a lasting and positive impact on the project outcome, while neither overstraining nor underchallenging them. Resource management is regarded as part of project management because employees need to be procured in order to complete tasks and assume roles.
