Why each option

The staffing pool description defines the characteristics, skills, and competencies available or required for the program's human resources.

The staffing pool description documents the specific skills, competencies, experience levels, and availability of the personnel pool that will be drawn upon to staff the program. It serves as the reference for understanding what human resource capabilities are needed and available during program initiation and planning.

CProgram resources requirements plan
