- Activity Resource Estimates: This document estimates all resources (type and quantity) related to an activity (HR, equipment etc.).You will need the resource calendar (to know which human resources are available at what time), activity list and attributes for performing this activity. You will also use the Risk Register & cost estimates to line up adequate resources.
- RBS: Resources grouped together by categories. Note - thia is a hierarchical representation. Also tied to the organisation accounting system and to the work packages in the WBS.
- Project Staff assignments: These are the actual responsibilities allocated to the aquired team (in 'aquire team process')
My Question:
1) Project schedule is an input to 'estimate cost' process as per PMBOK
2) However the output of 'estimate costs' i.e resource calendars is an input to the 'estimate activity resource estimates' How is this possible.
Are we saying that the project schedule can be created without completing the 'Estimate Resource Activity' process ? Can someone please explain this ? thanks you
