# perform resource planning — Project Manager

As a Project Manager, 'performing resource planning' isn’t just about listing *what* needs doing; it's about realistically figuring out *who* will do it, *when*, and at what *cost*. Daily tasks involve breaking down the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) into manageable activities, then estimating effort (hours/days per task). You'll be constantly juggling skillsets – does Sarah have the bandwidth for this design work? Can we afford to bring in a contractor for specialized testing? It’s about translating project scope into concrete resource needs. Tools like Microsoft Project, Asana, or dedicated resource management software are crucial here; spreadsheets quickly become unmanageable on anything but the smallest projects.
