Explanation
A Resource Breakdown Structure (RBS) is a hierarchical decomposition of resources-organized by type (human, equipment, materials, etc.)-that shows which resources are assigned to project work. It is presented visually, similar to a WBS, making it exactly what management is asking for. A Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) decomposes project deliverables into work packages, not resources. A Roles and Responsibility Matrix and RACI chart both map people to tasks/responsibilities, but neither focuses on categorizing the types of resources used across the entire project.
