Managing Project Resource
Summary
TLDRThe presentation covers the project resource management concerning developing a new Virtual Reality (VR) fitness application. It delves into project management phases: Initiation involves setting project goals and recognizing resources, Planning focuses on task scheduling and resource allocation, Execution entails monitoring resource usage, and Closure concentrates on completing deliverables and releasing resources. Resource management strategies discussed include cost estimation, scenario analysis, and risk management. The video also emphasizes the importance of earned value analysis (EVA) in tracking project performance. Types of resources such as land, labor, and capital, and their direct and indirect costs, are discussed alongside planning for possible risks and deviations from projections. The conclusion underlines effective resource management, EVA utility, and scenario planning.

Timeline
- 00:00:00 - 00:09:22
The speaker, Manikum, introduces themselves and outlines their affiliation with RP University in London, studying MSC Project Management. Their project focuses on managing project resources, particularly in developing a new VR fitness app. The introduction explains the concept of VR (Virtual Reality) and the framework of project delivery through four stages: Initiation, Planning, Execution, and Closure. Emphasis is laid on resource allocation, cost estimation, and scenario analysis in the resource management of the VR fitness application. The initiation stage involves setting project goals and identifying resources, while planning focuses on scheduling, allocating time, and budgeting. The execution stage includes monitoring resource usage and project performance, and the closure entails completing deliverables and releasing resources.

VR stands for Virtual Reality.
What are the four stages of project delivery discussed?
Initiation, Planning, Execution, and Closure.
What is the focus of resource management during project initiation?
Identifying VR development tools, demand, and budget.
How is resource management handled during the planning phase?
By scheduling tasks, allocating resources, and adjusting estimates based on cost and timeline.
What does EVA refer to in resource management?
EVA refers to Earned Value Analysis, a performance tracking method.
What are some key takeaways from the project?
Effective resource planning, the use of EVA to track progress, and scenario planning for risk mitigation.
What are the three scenario types mentioned?
Normal, Optimistic, and Pessimistic scenarios.
What are the main types of resources involved in the project?
Land, labor (software developers), and capital (investment in development tools).
What are direct and indirect costs in this context?
Direct costs include labor, material, marketing, while indirect costs involve overhead and administrative expenses.
How is scenario planning important for the project?
It helps in understanding risks and preparing for normal, optimistic, and pessimistic situations.
