Learning Activity #1: Resource Breakdown Structure Exercise
Estimating project activity resources is imperative for project success because this process gives the project manager a way to plan for all the necessary resources necessary for completion. Resources can include people, processes, and tools and sometimes include a Resource Breakdown Structure (RBS). Combining the estimation of activity duration or time, the project manager is able to make the project schedule

When building a schedule there are a number of resources that the project manager has to consider for success across the project lifecycle. These can include various combinations of people, processes, and tools. It takes much time and effort to develop a schedule that considers all of the resources that a project manager needs to use.
