Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: When resources are available (working days, holidays, part-time availability)

Explanation

Resource calendars identify working and non-working days for project resources — including standard working hours, company holidays, vacations, and part-time availability. This information is essential for realistic schedule development because activities can only be worked during periods when resources are available.

**Why not B:** Milestone completion dates are documented in the project schedule and milestone list, not in resource calendars. Resource calendars track resource availability, not project milestone timing.

**Why not C:** The sequence of activities each resource performs is defined in the resource assignments and project schedule, not the resource calendar. The calendar shows when resources are available; the schedule shows what they will work on and in what order.

**Why not D:** The number of resources assigned to each work package is documented in resource assignments or the responsibility assignment matrix. Resource calendars address availability timing, not assignment quantities.
