Determining Your Project Needs The first step in finding all of the resources needed for your project is to determine what resources are needed in your project. Take advantage of the people in your organization who have expertise about the software product, the programming environment, and so on. These people can help you determine the resources you need. Web application designers, analysts, developers, and database administrators, in particular, are the experts to whom you turn. Resources are not just people, but materials, facilities, and equipment that you need to buy, rent, or create. For example, the PMO Project may require new development software, new application licenses, and even hiring a training expert to help with that portion of the project.
