Resourcing a Project Schedule

Coursera Project Network via Coursera

Overview

In this guided project you will learn how add resources to your project schedule. You will start with your non-resourced project schedule. This is a schedule that was build by decomposing the lowest level elements of your WBS (representing Scope) to the necessary activities, sequencing them, and estimating their durations (BTW: we do have other Guided projects for how to do each one of these steps). Combing all this info, into a schedule. Now in this Guided Project you will add resources, (Human and non-human), consider resource relationships, and resource as well as project calendar, to optimize our schedule to our own project conditions.

Note: This course works best for learners who are based in the North America region. We’re currently working on providing the same experience in other regions.

We will use ProjectLibre, an open source project scheduling tool to resource our project. The concepts are the same, if you use another project scheduling tool.
