9.1 Develop Human Resource Plan
Organisational Charts –traditional hierarchical organisational charts can be very
effective to show team members where the project fits within the overall organisational structure AND to depict the structure and reporting lines for the project
Project organisational charts are also known as Resource Breakdown Structures
Responsibility Assignment Matrix (RAM) -A matrix based organisational chart which is used to illustrate
responsibilities for deliverables and activities
It assigns project team members to deliverables and activities and also indicates their role for each deliverable
Adapted from PMBOK 4th Edition

BSBPMG405A Apply Human Resource Management Approaches
• Project Organisational Charts are designed to show project positions in relation to each other in the hierarchy
• Functional Organisational Charts can also be useful to show how the project team resources fit into other structures within the organisation
• It is common for a project team member to have a “project” reporting line and a “functional” reporting line or Line Manager

Responsibility Assignment Matrix
• Definition of a Responsibility Assignment Matrix (RAM) –
– A structured table that relates the project organisation chart/structure to the work breakdown structure to help ensure that all components of the project scope have been assigned to a project team or team member
– It relates the activities and deliverables in the work break down structure to project team members and other people who have delivery responsibilities on the project.
– It helps to ensure project execution by assigning all components of the project’s scope to someone who is responsible for getting it done.

9.1 Develop Human Resource Plan
Workforce Planning -Occurs prior to recruitment or resource acquisition
Typically associated with broad based planning of human resources in order to achieve an organisation’s strategic and business goals, can also be applied to projects
Aligns the human resource requirements in order to meet the objectives of the project based on the definition of the resources required for each activity in the schedule
People may be unsuitable in terms of skills and experience, in this case they can be retrained or retrenched and new people recruited
Project Managers do not always get to specify and select all of their people which can leave major capability gaps and increase risk on the project Adapted from PMBOK 4th Edition

BSBPMG405A Apply Human Resource Management Approaches
9.1 Develop Human Resource Plan
Subject Matter Experts –Assistance in planning and selecting the people for a project
can be sought from the internal HR department, the Project Management Office and also external recruitment providers
There may be policies and procedures that make it necessary to involve the internal HR department in the process
Networking -Formal and informal interaction with the organisation and
project management community
Can be very useful at the beginning of a project in order to understand what resources are coming available and also for professional development of team members during the project

Pre-assignment –Occurs when project team members are selected in advance
due to specialist skills and reserved for the project
Can create issues if there are dependencies on these staff completing previously assigned projects before moving to the new project
Resource Pools -Mature project management organisations will often have a
list of all project based resources that can be assigned to projects
These are normally centrally managed by the PMO or HR department and keep track of availability, competencies, costs and personal preferences
Adapted from PMBOK 4th Edition

BSBPMG405A Apply Human Resource Management Approaches
9.2 Acquire Project Team
Negotiation –The Project Manager may need to negotiate for specific,
critical resources with other lower priority projects or with their functional/line manager
May also be required as part of External Recruitment activities and governed by organisational policies
Internal Acqusition -Project team members are obtained from within the
organisation
Can be undertaken in an informal manner, where staff are simply approached to assess interest
Can require a more formal internal recruitment approach depending on internal policies

9.2 Acquire Project Team
External Recruitment –Sometimes undertaken simultaneously with internal

Contractors and Consultants -Can be faster than going to the broad external marketApproach specialist providers and preferred suppliers for
contract resourcesMay also require specialist consultants with niche skills for
short engagementsAdapted from PMBOK 4th Edition

– Work part time
– Have disabilities

People Selection Techniques
1. Take some time to reflect on the job interviews that you have attended and conducted.
2. Have you ever experienced inappropriate selection techniques, such as unacceptable questions or possibly discrimination.
3. Then go to the Forum on People Selection Techniques and provide comment on the experiences that you have had and pose alternates that would have been more ethical.
