Here is yet another template that I am digging out of my archives to provide here. As you can easily guess, this document is designed for requesting resources at the beginning of your project based on information in your statement of work (SOW) and the estimates of resource requirements that either you or Sales put together in the pre-engagement process. It is also helpful for requesting additional resources during the project.
How useful this is to anyone depends on the organization they work in. If you have a mature PMO with processes in place, then I would guess that you already have a standard form or spreadsheet to use to request resource for your project. However, if you're one of just a few PMs or personnel acting in a PM role in your organization or you're in the process of building some PM processes for a newer organization or even setting up a new PMO, then any template may be better than nothing.
As with all of these documents, if you want the original Word doc file, just email me if you think this will be useful or helpful. And please, provide your own example if you wish. We're looking to learn and share information so I'm happy to use and post whatever you would like to provide to the readers of PM Tips.
