You are the project manager for your organization. Your project will need four electrical engineers
for the project though there are no electrical engineers within your department. This scenario is
best described as which one of the following terms?

A.
Assumption

B.
Risk

C.
Resource requirement

D.
Resource constraint

Explanation:
This is an example of a resource requirement. The project needs four electrical engineers even
though the resources are not within your department. Your organization could be a matrix
structure, or it could hire resources from outside the organization.
Answer option D is incorrect. A resource constraint is evident when the project requires the
electrical engineer and she is not available. A requirement, as in this scenario, is simply the
identification of the needed resource even if the resource is not available in your department.
Answer option B is incorrect. This is not an example of a risk, unless the resource is constrained
by other projects, schedules, or work and may not be available at all when needed.
Answer option A is incorrect. An assumption would be believing the resource is available for the
project without confirming the availability of the resource.
