ITPEC IP October 2023 Question 51
In order to achieve the objectives of a project, the roles, responsibilities, and skills required for project team members are determined, and the time periods of their participation are also clarified. Which of the following is the appropriate knowledge area of the project management processes where such activities are classified?
Explanation
Project human resource management — deciding the roles, responsibilities, skills and participation periods of team members is planning the project's people.
Human resource management plans roles and responsibilities, the skills required, reporting relationships and the staffing schedule (when each member joins and leaves), then acquires, develops and manages the team. A responsibility assignment matrix (RAM) often records who does what.
Answer (d)
Why not others:
- •(a) Project communication management — plans who needs what information, and when and how it is distributed
- •(b) Project scope management — defines the deliverables and the work, not who does it
- •(c) Project time management — defines the activities and the schedule, not people's roles and skills
Key rule: Match the question's nouns to the knowledge area: people, roles, skills and staffing periods belong to human resource (resource) management.
