BSBPMG515 MANAGE PROJECT HUMAN RESOURCES

Assessment Task:

A strategic HR planning process ensures that the staff selected is suitable and available to meet the organisation’s project goals. The HR process is key to matching the right people with the right skills for tasks.

Plan Human Resources for Project Start:
1. Staffing Plan: this document considers the process of selecting, assembling, and assigning work to members of a project team. The team should be qualified with the appropriate skill sets to meet project deliverables. A staffing plan entails drawing up a time schedule for specific skills based on a task plan. The staffing plan provides for any non-labour resources such as tools, and equipment required by the project team to undertake assigned tasks.

2. Determine the required skills: the skill sets required for completing project deliverables is first defined, and a skills inventory is undertaken. A skills inventory provides data on the knowledge, skills, and abilities of the
organisation’s human resources. The purpose is to match staff competencies with the skill sets required. The process considers existing staff, staff on contract, and new hires. The project manager should develop a skills
inventory from relevant in-house departments. You can gather this data in several ways, such as asking employees to self-evaluate with a questionnaire or you can examine past performance reviews.

3. Match skill levels of qualified staff to project requirements: this process reconciles required skills with existing skills. It entails having a clear understanding of the available staff in the organisation and their ability to meet project requirements. Prepare a comprehensive schedule for qualified, available staff assigning them time-specified duties and responsibilities.

4. Acquiring the right people for the job: Choosing the right people for your project takes time and effort, but it is well worth project success. Without a knowledgeable team, a project becomes more difficult to manage. For best outcomes, select your team based on a) previous experience, b) personal interests, c) work ethic d) competencies and e) proficiencies. The resources you will use to find team members is not difficult. Teams often come from familiar territories. These include negotiations with other project teams, pre-assignment from another project, or previous use of outside agencies and contractors.
