All project team resources must be assigned 40 hours per week of project work.   

When allocating project team resources to your project deliverables, it is acceptable to assign the team member fewer than 40 hours per week.  

All members of a cross-functional project team are dedicated to the project full-time.

If you as a project manager are given a part-time project team member, you must ensure that the part-time resource’s regular boss or other project manager understands and approves of the team member’s involvement in your project.   

Project resources can only be people (project team members). 

Project resources often refers to people (project team members). 

A project manager must use the same method of estimating level of effort (LOE) throughout the entire project in order to maintain consistency. 

Match the correct definitions for each of the four methods of work estimating described in our lesson.  

The Level of Effort (LOE) for a project deliverable is 80 person-days.  You as the Project Manager assign 8 team members to work on the deliverable full-time (i.e., 8 hours per day).  Therefore, the Level of Effort (LOE) is reduced to 10 person-days.  

A project manager may choose to use different methods of estimating level of effort (LOE) to determine the LOE for the project.
