Acquire Resources

The activity of securing the people, facilities, equipment, materials, supplies, and any other assets needed to carry out the project work.

Key Points

  • Focuses on obtaining both human and physical resources in alignment with the resource management plan and schedule.
  • Often requires negotiation with functional managers and coordination with procurement or vendors.
  • Occurs when resources are needed during the project; results include assignments, resource calendars, and document updates.
  • Common techniques include pre-assignment, decision making, negotiation, and use of virtual teams.

Example

On a construction project, the project manager secures a concrete crew, leases a crane for two weeks, and purchases rebar and formwork by working with internal departments and external suppliers to ensure availability when the pour is scheduled.
