Project management addresses time reporting and billing, risk and issue management, work slippage, and resource capacity issues. Resource Management Resource management requires disciplined processes, an understanding of business goals, the ability to balance demand from multiple sources, and assign work efficiently, developing a skills pipeline, developing staff areas of interest and keeping staff productive.
