Which process defines how to assemble, develop, manage, and lead the project team, including roles, responsibilities, and necessary skills?

• A. Plan Communications Management
• B. Plan Quality Management
• C. Plan Resource Management
• D. Plan Scope Management

Answer: (C)

This is about planning how you will assemble, develop, manage, and lead the people on the project. Plan Resource Management defines the approach for getting the right people with the right skills, assigning roles and responsibilities, and figuring out when and how team members are needed. It also covers developing the team—training, coaching, and building collaboration—and how you’ll lead and motivate them, handle conflicts, and optimize performance over the life of the project. The outputs typically include a staffing management plan, defined roles and responsibilities, and a mapping of who does what (and when), plus plans for training and team development.

Other plans focus on different areas: planning communications deals with how information is shared; planning quality focuses on meeting quality standards; planning scope defines how to determine and manage the project’s work.
