But thinking more broadly about the resources at hand can remove this!
When starting a new project, focusing first on human resources by using a Project-Based People Plan can empower a more abundant approach to scoping. At its core, a Project-Based People Plan challenges assumptions about resource constraints and allows you to plan in a way where you are not limited solely to budgetary capacity. Focusing first on the people, the Project-Based People Plan outlines all the skills and talent required to see your project through to success.
