 Resource
estimation is the
planning and
assurance of
resource
availability to
ensure the smooth
running and
success of a
project. The management of available resources is essential for any project
and must be taken into account even before the project starts. The
management of the amount of resources required, as well as their
optimization, are two of the key factors for the successful delivery of a
project.

The estimation of resources is anchored to the management of a project in

the broadest sense, as it includes different aspects related to the process,
such as:

-the projection of the duration and cost of activities (provisional budget),

-the breakdown structure of the resources identified by categories (human,

material, etc.),
-the allocation of resources for each activity (according to profiles and
skills).

All this is coordinated by the Project director, who must ensure that the
project is cost-effective and that deadlines are met.

In terms of guiding documents, planning can comprise the General Plan,

the programs and the projects, which in that order could be contemplated.
In this ideal structure, the plan is
only one. The programs or the plan
(if there are no programs) should
have lines of action, which could
be replaced by projects, if
necessary. It is recommended that
there be projects that replace or
group the lines of action, if the
purpose is to establish an
administration-management of the
plan by projects (highly
recommended).

The long-term perspective, or horizon, is the answer to the question of where

does the company need to be at a specific point in the future to fulfill its
vision, mission and strategies? Strategic Planning is a dynamic process that
is flexible enough to allow and even force modifications in the plans in
order to respond to changing circumstances. From a pedagogical point of
view, Strategic Planning is important because it offers organizations the
following advantages:

-It forces executives to view planning from the macro perspective, pointing
out the central objectives, so that our daily actions bring us closer and
closer to the goals.

-It keeps the focus on both the future and the present.

-Reinforces the principles acquired in the vision, mission and strategies.

-Encourages interdisciplinary planning and communication.

-Assigns priorities in the allocation of resources.

-Improves the performance of the organization: It effectively guides the

direction of the organization, facilitating innovative management and
leadership actions. Allows to face the main problems of the organization:
Confronting change in
the environment and
unveiling opportunities
and threats.

-The development of a
strategic planning
produces benefits related
to the ability to perform a
more efficient
management, freeing human and material resources, which results in
productive efficiency and a better quality of life and work for all members.
It helps to improve productivity levels, leading to the achievement of
profitability.
-It favors organizational management and coordination by unifying efforts
and collective expectations.

-Optimizes processes in the areas by translating results into synergic

achievements.

-It contributes to the creation and redefinition of corporate values, which

are translated into:

*Teamwork.

*Commitment to the organization.

*Quality of service.

*Human development (personal and professional).

*Innovation and creativity.

*Communication.

*Leadership, etc.

It is about foreseeing and arranging stages

of each project and/or activity, usually
called "financial programming". The more
accurate the forecasts are, the lower the
risks of stagnation, which, due to lack of
timely financial availability, delay the
progress of a program, project or activity.
Resources must be available on a continuous basis, according to the needs
of the moment, throughout the time required to carry out the program or
project.

It consists of associating to
each of the tasks, in the
project, the people,
equipment and materials
necessary for them to be
carried out. This is a
complicated and
fundamental task in the
planning and development of Human Capital Management. The view of
people as resources is erroneous. As Handy says in "The Age of the
Unreasonable": "People are not human resources. They are living individuals,
with every right to be different." While companies are organizations
fundamentally composed of specialists who will work according to the
information they receive, human resources have knowledge as their main
resource.
A resource is a means of any kind that makes it possible to satisfy a need or
achieve what is intended. Technology, on the other hand, refers to the
theories and techniques that enable the practical use of scientific
knowledge. A technological resource, therefore, is a means that uses
technology to fulfill its purpose. Technological resources may be tangible
(such as a computer, printer or other
machine) or intangible (a system, a
virtual application).

Nowadays, technological resources

are an indispensable part of
businesses or households.
Technology has become a key ally
in the performance of all kinds of
tasks. A company that has modern
computers, high-speed Internet
access, internal computer networks, smartphones and multifunction
equipment will be able to compete successfully in the market, regardless of
the characteristics of its products or services. Technological resources help
to develop the daily operations of the company, from production to
marketing, including internal and external communications and any other
facet.
The knowledge of technologies today cannot be limited to a simple
technical domain, it requires a reflection on their potential and the impact
they have on the computer systems that are produced. The relationships
between their software and hardware components. A lack of mastery can
define hardware/software architectures that are not very robust and can
render a large number of systems obsolete in a short period of time or leave
an organization tied to systems that are difficult to maintain.

In this sense, the Software Technology Infrastructure program helps to

understand the various technological components used in software
technology infrastructures in order to master their design and
implementation.

The technological infrastructure groups and organizes the set of

technological elements that integrate a project, support the operations of
an organization or sustain an operation. An infrastructure defines the
success of a company to the extent that its robustness, quality and
sustainability translates into increased IT investment. For this reason it is
crucial to know all its components or elements at software and hardware
level. A solid infrastructure allows software to operate efficiently and
effectively for the expected time with high levels of service and
performance.
