The document discusses activity resource estimating as part of the Diploma of Project Management qualification. It describes estimating the types and quantities of resources required for each schedule activity and work package. It also covers incorporating resource requirements into activity attributes, updating calendars and structures if change requests are approved, and requesting changes to activities through an integrated change control process.

Estimating (Outputs) in the Diploma of
Project Management qualification.

3. Activity Resource Requirements. The output of
the Activity Resource Estimating process is an
identification and description of the types and
quantities of resources required for each schedule
activity in a work package.
These requirements can then be aggregated to
determine the estimated resources for each work
package. The amount of detail and the level of
specificity of the resource requirement descriptions
can vary by application area.

4. The resource requirements documentation for each
schedule activity can include the basis of estimate
for each resource, as well as the assumptions that
were made in determining which types of resources
are applied, their availability, and what quantity are
used. The Schedule Development process
determines when the resources are needed.

5. Activity Attributes (Updates). The types and
quantities of resources required for each schedule
activity are incorporated into the activity attributes.
If approved change requests result from the Activity
Resource Estimating process, then the activity list
and activity attributes are updated to include those
approved changes.

6. Resource Breakdown Structure. The resource
breakdown structure (RBS) is a hierarchical structure
of the identified resources by resource category and
resource type.
Resource Calendar (Updates). A composite
resource calendar for the project documents working
days and nonworking days that determine those
dates on which a specific resource, whether a person
or materiel, can be active or is idle.

7. The project resource calendar typically identifies
resource-specific holidays and resource availability
periods. The project resource calendar identifies the
quantity of each resource available during each
availability period.

8. Requested Changes. The Activity Resource
Estimating process can result in requested changes
to add or delete planned schedule activities within
the activity list. Requested changes are processed for
review and disposition through the Integrated
Change Control process.
