Resource Breakdown Structure (RBS) serves as a blueprint, providing a detailed outline of the human resources, equipment, assets, etc., necessary for each project phase. Without it, managers may fail to assess the type, quantity, and quality of resources required, leading to scheduling conflicts, cost overruns, project delays, etc.
To avoid this, managers must create an accurate resource breakdown structure to plan, identify, and help deploy all available resources during the project’s lifecycle. This will help firms avoid potential conflicts and optimize resource allocation for smoother project execution.
