What Human Resources Do I Need?

Having identified your objectives for the project, and considered any time frames that you must meet, examine what human resources are required for the implementation. It would be ideal if you had unlimited human resources available to assign to the project, but in reality this seldom occurs. It may be that you are solely responsible for the implementation, or that someone has been assigned as a resource without regard to your objectives. If so, this will obviously impact your time frames.

Different people have different qualities and experience. If you have a junior member of staff assigned, it may take that person twice as long to do certain tasks as a more experienced person. You should factor this into your estimations.
