Managing and Controlling Project Resources

As the Project progresses, the Project Manager must acquire all the resources (human, machine and material), train and manage human resources, and control all the resources.  Specifically,

  • Internal Resources are acquired from Functional or Resource managers, depending on the Org. External resources are acquired through the Procurement processes
  • Acquired Resources are assigned to their respective activities. It is ensured that Right Resources are assigned, at the Right Place, at the Right Time and in the Right Numbers. 
  • Overallocated Resources are Levelled
  • Resources no longer needed are released
  • Competencies and skills of the Project Team are enhanced
  • A dynamic, cohesive, and collaborative team culture is developed to:
    1. Improve individual and team productivity, team spirit, and cooperation; and
    2. Allow cross-training and mentoring between team members to share knowledge and expertise

  • Invoices/Claims are reviewed, for correctness & supporting documents
  • Payments to the Seller are authorized in accordance with the terms of the contract
  • Changes to the Contract are managed
  • All Communication with the Seller is by the POC only and is documented
  • Contract is correctly interpreted with its meaning, inclusions & exclusions
  • Legal implications of any procurement action taken is well understood
  • Procurement Performance Review meetings are held with the team and the Seller Report on Performance (Own as well as the Seller’s performance)
  • Cost, Schedule, and Technical performance is monitored against the contract
  • Quality is controlled as per the contract; Inspection & Audits are performed
  • Procurement Risks are monitored; New Risks are analyzed
  • Disputes are resolved
  • Deliverables validated by own QC are accepted
