of the 8 key knowledge areas of project management. • The planning processes for all project management key knowledge areas are normally performed at the same time this process, or expanded upon shortly afterwards • The Human Resource Management Plan (9.1) for a project is developed concurrently with the development of the Project Management Plan (4.2) Monitor Initiation Planning Execution

project and the project management methodology that is being applied Can only be changed via a Change Request once it has been baselined defines how all aspects of the project are to be undertaken

documenting project roles, responsibilities, required skills and reporting relationships. • The output is a Staffing Management Plan or a Human Resource Plan. • HR planning determines and identifies the people and skills required for project success. • Factors that influence HR planning include – competition for resources, scarce skills sets, project prioritisation • Occurs during Planning

Descriptions Networking Responsibility Assignment Matrix Subject Matter Experts Adapted from PMBOK 4th Edition BSBPMG405A Apply Human Resource Management Approaches 9.1 Develop Human Resource Plan Organisational Charts – traditional hierarchical organisational charts can be very effective to show team members where the project fits within the overall organisational structure AND to depict the structure and reporting lines for the project Project organisational charts are also known as Resource Breakdown Structures Responsibility Assignment Matrix (RAM) A matrix based organisational chart which is used to illustrate responsibilities for deliverables and activities It assigns project team members to deliverables and activities and also indicates their role for each deliverable Adapted from PMBOK 4th Edition BSBPMG405A Apply Human Resource Management Approaches Project Organisational Charts • Project Organisational Charts are designed to show project positions in relation to each other in the hierarchy • Functional Organisational Charts can also be useful to show how the project team resources fit into other structures within the organisation • It is common for a project team member to have a “project” reporting line and a “functional” reporting line or Line Manager BSBPMG405A Apply Human Resource Management Approaches Example Project Organisational Chart BSBPMG405A Apply

Team Member 2 BSBPMG405A Apply Human Resource Management Approaches Project Manager 2 Team Leader 2 Team Member 2 Project Manager 3 Responsibility Assignment Matrix • Definition of a Responsibility Assignment Matrix (RAM) – – A structured table that relates the project organisation chart/structure to the work breakdown structure to help ensure that all components of the project scope have been assigned to a project team or team member – It relates the activities and deliverables in the work break down structure to project team members and other people who have delivery responsibilities on the project. – It helps to ensure project execution by assigning all components of the project’s scope to someone who is responsible for getting it done.
