What data can be tracked using the resource planner? (Select two.)

Question

Options

• AActual hours worked
• BPlanned hours
• CRisk scores
• DAllocation percentages

• A
  13% (3)
• B
  83% (19)
• C
  4% (1)

Explanation

Planned hours (B) and allocation percentages (D) are the two data types native to a resource planner because its core purpose is forward-looking capacity management - showing how much time is scheduled for each resource and what proportion of their availability is committed to work.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (Actual hours worked) is captured in timesheets or time-tracking tools, not the resource planner, which is planning-focused rather than actuals-focused.
• C (Risk scores) belong in a risk register or risk matrix - an entirely separate project artifact unrelated to resource allocation.

Memory tip: Think of the resource planner as a schedule blueprint - it shows what you plan (hours) and how much of someone's capacity is claimed (percentage). Anything measuring what already happened (actuals) or assessing uncertainty (risk) lives in a different tool.
