You are the project manager for your organization. Your project will be utilizing a piece of
equipment during its process of completion. There is some concern that your project’s use of the
equipment may conflict with another project. What document will help you determine when and
how long you will use the shared equipment?

A.
Project schedule

B.
Project scope

C.
Project calendar

D.
Resource calendar

Explanation:
The resource calendar defines when and how long a resource will be utilized. Not all resources
are human – facilities, equipment, and other things are resources that must be scheduled. A
resource calendar is used to make sure that work resources (people and equipment) are
scheduled only when they are available for work. They affect a specific resource or category of
resources. By default, the working time settings in the resource calendar are the same as in the
project calendar. However, a user can customize the resource calendar to show individual
schedule information, such as vacations, leaves of absence, or equipment maintenance time.

Answer option B is incorrect. The project scope would not address resource utilization.
Answer option A is incorrect. The project schedule is not the best answer for this question. The
project schedule is an in depth plan of the important project phases, activities, milestones, tasks,
and the resources allocated to each task.
Answer option C is incorrect. The project calendar documents when the project work will take
place, not the utilization of resources.
