Overview/Description
Successful projects require more than well-balanced budgets and properly deployed resources. They require skilled and motivated people. As project manager, it's your responsibility to identify and fulfill your project's staffing needs. The degree of your success will depend upon your understanding and implementation of the tools and techniques for project human resources management.
The Project Human Resources Management Simulation is designed to help project managers better manage their project's staffing needs. Over the course of the simulation, participants will practice a series of human resource management skills, encompassing the objectives of creating a Responsibility Assignment Matrix, creating a Staffing Management Plan, developing the project team, using empathy to gain commitment, resolving conflict, and staffing the project.
The Project Human Resources Management Simulation comprises two scenarios and is based on the SkillSoft series "Project Human Resources Management." Throughout the simulation, links are provided to the following SkillSoft courses: PROJ0571 and PROJ0572.
This simulation is aligned with "A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge" (PMBOK® Guide) - Third Edition, published by the Project Management Institute (PMI®), Inc., 2004. Copyright and all rights reserved. Material from this publication has been reproduced with the permission of PMI®.
