CAPM Practice: Demonstrate an understanding of project management planning

Resource determination involves analyzing the skills, knowledge, and expertise required for each activity, then matching available resources to those needs. This approach considers both the work requirements and the capabilities of available team members to create an effective resource plan.

**Why not B:** Assigning all three developers to every task creates inefficiency and does not optimize the use of specialized skills. Resource planning should match specific skills to specific activities, not assign everyone to everything regardless of their expertise.

**Why not C:** Automatically requesting additional resources without first analyzing whether existing resources can meet the needs is premature. The correct approach is to match available developers' skills to the project activities before determining if additional resources are truly needed.

**Why not D:** Assigning the senior developer to all critical path activities may overload one resource and underutilize others. Effective resource planning considers the skills of all available team members and distributes work based on expertise and availability, not just seniority.
