Management is asking for a visual diagram of the resources that will be utilized in the project deliverables. The chart that management is requesting is a Resource breakdown structure (RBS).
A Resource breakdown structure (RBS) is a chart that displays the resources needed to complete a project. The chart is hierarchical and breaks down resources by category and subcategory. The main categories could be hardware, software, personnel, facilities, etc. Subcategories would be the specific resources needed for each category.
The RBS allows project managers to identify and allocate resources effectively. It helps to ensure that all resources needed for the project are identified, that resources are not duplicated or overlooked, and that resources are used efficiently.
Work breakdown structure (WBS) is another type of chart that is commonly used in project management. A WBS is a hierarchical breakdown of the project into smaller, more manageable components. The WBS breaks the project down into deliverables, which are then broken down into smaller components until they are small enough to be easily managed.
A RACI chart (Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, and Informed) and a Roles and Responsibility Matrix are tools used to define roles and responsibilities for project stakeholders. A RACI chart specifies the responsibilities of each project stakeholder, while a Roles and Responsibility Matrix provides a detailed description of each stakeholder's roles and responsibilities. Neither of these tools are used to identify project resources.
