Human resource planning determines project roles, responsibilities and reporting relationships and creates the staffing management plan. Project roles can be designated for persons or groups. Those persons or groups can be from inside or outside the organisation performing the project. The staffing management plan can include how and when project team members will be acquired, reporting relationships, the criteria for releasing them from the project, identification of training needs and skill requirements, plans for recognition and rewards, compliance considerations, safety issues and the impact of the staffing management plan on the organisation. Important consideration should be given to the availability of, or competition for, scarce or limited human resources. Other projects could be competing for resources with the same competencies or skill sets. Given these factors, project costs, schedules, risks, quality and other areas could be significantly affected. Effective human resource planning should consider and plan for these factors and develop human resource options. Inputs required for the human resource planning process include enterprise environmental factors, organisational process assets and the project management plan. The definition of project roles and responsibilities is developed with an understanding of the ways that existing organisations will be involved and how the technical disciplines and people currently interact with one another.
