Resource Planning Software

Resource planning in the context of project management must take into account personnel resources as well as plant and material resources. Human resources refer to the availability of the project team members, who should be recorded and evaluated with their personnel costs if possible. Plant and material resources are often already available. If these are already being used by other parts of the company, the scope of use and priority of these resources for the project must be clarified as part of resource planning.

In this SoftGuide section you will find an overview of software on the topic of resource planning. The solutions listed in this section usually support you with the help of visualizations (graphical disposition of resources, Gantt), analyze your project portfolio and resources, enable various planning scenarios, help with resource management, minimize bottlenecks and idle times.

What are resources?

When we talk about resources, we can mean a wide variety of resources or assets. In general, resources can be divided into personnel resources (often referred to as human resources), material or plant resources and financial resources.

What are resources

Human resources

Human resources

Human resources usually refer to the employees or staff of a company or organization. However, human resources for project planning can also include external workers in addition to the company's own employees. In addition to the project management and team members, a project team can also include external experts and other consultants.

Plant resources

Property and equipment resources

Facility resources include, for example, production machinery or production facilities, research and development facilities, laboratories and other technological facilities. Material resources include materials and equipment required for the project, such as computers, software, building materials, tools, vehicles, office supplies, etc.

Financial resources

Financial resources

Financial resources are the budget available for the project. This includes costs for personnel, equipment, materials, services and other expenses related to the project.

What is resource planning?

Resource planning is an essential part of project planning and therefore of project management. Resource planning should ensure that the right resources are available at the right time and in the right place. Different types of resources (human resources, financial resources, material and equipment resources) can be taken into account, depending on the type of project and the respective requirements for the individual project.

What does resource planning involve?

Resource planning begins with a requirements analysis. The project requirements must be thoroughly analyzed to determine which resources are needed and when. The resource plan contains a comprehensive list of all the resources required for the project.

Once the resource requirements have been determined, the resources are allocated according to the requirements of the project. This includes an estimate of the required timeframe for each project phase, including the definition of schedules, milestones and deadlines, as well as the corresponding allocation of personnel, costs, required materials and the allocation of other required material resources.

The creation of the resource plan should include a risk analysis in order to identify potential risks at an early stage and take appropriate measures to minimize risks. During the course of the project, resources are monitored to ensure that they are being used effectively. Adjustments are made as necessary to ensure that the project continues to run smoothly.
