If you will consider resource planning, then your attention will
also be diverted to resource management. Planning is a part of the management
and hence you are certainly going to find that resource planning is an
important part of the resource management. You will come across that project
resource management is certainly an important subject and is being studied as
the part of the software engineering. Right now, we are considering the
software engineering and we need to know that software engineering is an
important branch of computer engineering. If you will go by the project
resource management then you will uncover that the software process starts with
the requirement analysis. You need to be acquainted with that some of the
requirement analysis might be very tough. Hence, if you will follow the steps
and rules of resource planning then that is going to be easier.
As far as the project resource management is concerned, you will indubitably
observe that you are going to interview the client. If you will not keep some
fact in mind then that can be a big problem for you. Only after the interview
of the client, you will come to know that what resources you are going to need
and that will be kept in mind while going for the project resource management.
The rules clearly declare that you should go for the low-level
simple questions when you initiate the interview. You are the insider and hence
you will no better that what is good for you and what is bad for you. You will
realize that what are required and what are not required. You need to know many
more things as well. If you are doing a software project then you will need the
software ingredients like system, and software as well as the desktop. However,
you will need the project manager, software developer and the software
programmer and designer as well.
Quality assurance engineers have become quite important these days
and you are going to realize that more and more people come out in front, as
far as the requirement for the software engineering is concerned. You will find
that the software testers are very important resource planning members and they
are a resource for the project manager. The team needs the tester at each of
the steps and no team can certainly survive without the software tester without
any doubt.
