About Resource Management
Resource management is the process of pre-planning, scheduling, and allocating your resources to maximize efficiency. Resource management has become an integral part of any business today. It has emerged as an independent discipline after organizations became complex with matrix structure and expanded in multiple geographies.

Benefits are

•    Avoids unforeseen hiccups: By understanding your resources upfront and planning how to use them, you can troubleshoot gaps or problems before they happen.
•    Prevents burnout: Effective resource management allows you to avoid “over allocation” or “dependency” of resources by gaining insight into your team’s workload.
•    Provides a safety net: Let’s say the project was not successful due to lack of resources (it happens). Resource planning and management establishes that you did everything you could with what you had.
•    Builds transparency: Other teams can gain visibility into your team’s bandwidth, and plan accordingly if your team is at maximum capacity or available to take on new projects.
