6. Develop HR plan (1)  Identify skills and number of persons needed  Primary input = estimate of task resources

7. Develop HR plan (2)  Define the organization of the project team  Team members’ attributes: role (or function) position responsibility competency authority

8. Develop HR plan (3)  Staffing management plan: how staffing will be performed staffing schedule training plan, etc.

17. Plan quality (1)  Identify quality requirements and standards that will be applied to the project and to the resulting product  Document how compliance with such requirements and standards will be achieved and demonstrated

18. Plan quality (2)  Take into account the product acceptance criteria specified in the requirements and the testing tasks to be performed at various stages of the project

19. Plan quality (3)  Include processes to put in place for quality control & assurance of the project itself.  Define quality “metrics” for certain project requirements.

20. Plan quality (4)  The cost of quality (“COQ”) corresponds to the cost of resources needed to meet quality requirements.  Poor quality also has a cost, which may be (much) higher than the cost of quality.

22. Plan communications (1)  Determine how information will be provided, when and by whom.

23. Plan communications (2)  Types of information to be communicated  Language(s) to be used and glossary of terms specific to the project  Time-frame and frequency of communications

24. Plan communications (3)  Communication methods  Persons with communication responsibility  Escalation paths and procedures
