Explanation

A resource calendar documents the working days, shifts, availability, and capacity of specific resources (individuals, equipment, or material) over time. It shows when particular resources - such as application developers or technical writers - are available to be assigned to program work versus when they are committed elsewhere (e.g., operations). The staffing management plan describes how resources will be acquired and managed but does not detail day-to-day availability. The resource pool description provides an overview of available resource types. There is no standard PMI artifact called the 'functional management plan.'
