Which activity is part of the Planning and resource management process?

Question

Options

• Aallocating capacity for changes in the information provisioning
• Bdetermining which information provisioning is needed
• Cmaking a plan for the cost of changes in the information provisioning

• A
  91% (21)
• B
  4% (1)
• C
  4% (1)

Explanation

Allocating capacity is the defining activity of Planning and resource management because the process is fundamentally about ensuring that sufficient resources are available to handle demand - in this case, reserving the right amount of capacity to accommodate changes in information provisioning. Resource management means distributing and controlling resources, and capacity allocation is exactly that.

Option B is wrong because determining which information provisioning is needed is a requirements or needs-analysis activity, belonging to a strategic or demand management process - not resource management.

Option C is wrong because planning the cost of changes falls under financial management or budgeting, a separate process focused on money rather than resources like capacity, staff, or infrastructure.

Memory tip: Focus on the word "resource" in the process name. Of the three options, only A involves a concrete resource (capacity). If you're allocating or scheduling something tangible to meet demand, you're in resource management territory. Cost = finance; needs = strategy; capacity = resources.
