Explanation
Robert should create a Resource Management Plan (Choice A). A resource management plan defines how human and physical resources will be identified, acquired, managed, and released across the program and its component projects. In a matrix organization where resources are shared across multiple projects, this plan is critical for coordinating who needs which resources and when, preventing conflicts and gaps. A resource calendar (Choice D) is a tool that shows resource availability but does not define how resources will be managed. A schedule management plan (Choice C) focuses on scheduling methodology, not resource coordination. A program management calendar (Choice B) is not a standard PMI artifact.
