Resource Breakdown Structure

The Resource Breakdown Structure (RBS) for a project should be considered similar to a Work Breakdown Structure, but the RBS focuses on the resources needed to deliver the project.
Having established what needs to be done (WBS), you also need to establish the resources needed to deliver all the work packages. Resources not only cover people but materials and equipment. All ‘resources’ have a cost associated with them, so it is important to identify the resources needed and the respective quantities required to deliver the project’s scope.
Typically resources and skills are major variable elements on a project so its important to get this right. This bundle provides guidelines, template, checklist and tips to enable you to do this.
