Abstract:

Resource allocation is an important part of project management. This paper focuses on this area, especially on human resources allocation. The main paper’s objective is two-fold:  The paper introduces the notion of the Human Resources Information Set (HRIS) and the Human Resources Information Set Extension (HRIS_E), which are used in project scheduling and resource allocation.  Various modes of HRIS_E use in project management are presented. Practical examples of HRIS_E use together with benefits obtained are also given.  The direction of future research, directed towards advanced use of the concepts presented, is charted.
