Plan for Needed Knowledge and Skills

Knowledge delivery to projects involves both training of project personnel and acquisition of knowledge from outside sources.

Staffing requirements are dependent on the knowledge and skills available to support the execution of the project.

• Identify the knowledge and skills needed to perform the project.
• Assess the knowledge and skills available.
• Select mechanisms for providing needed knowledge and skills. The choice of in-house training or external outsourcing for the needed knowledge and skills is determined by the availability of training expertise, the project's schedule, and business objectives.
• Incorporate selected mechanisms in the project plan.
