Explanation

Assessing the resource pool means evaluating the available people, their qualifications, roles, costs, and capacity before committing them to the project. Reviewing SOW, grading resumes, evaluating titles and salaries, and estimating hours per FTE are all analytical activities aimed at understanding what resources are available and suitable - not yet assigning or negotiating. Assigning resources comes after the assessment; negotiating involves discussion with resource owners; adding to the schedule is a later scheduling step.
