    This document discusses human resource planning and management for projects. It explains that determining human resource needs involves considering the work required and the duration of that work. Work is defined as the effort needed to complete tasks, often measured in hours, days or weeks. Duration refers to the number of work periods required to finish tasks, usually expressed as work days or weeks. The document notes that duration does not include non-working time and is sometimes mistakenly used interchangeably with elapsed time, which includes both work and non-work periods.

    resource needs for the project are:

    • Work (or Effort)


    • Duration
