A project manager is preparing the resource plan for an IT infrastructure project that involves installing new servers and networking hardware in a data center. Which of the following should be classified as a physical resource in the resource plan?
The rack units and power supplies for the servers
The network engineer assigned to configure the equipment
Physical resources are tangible assets required to complete a project, such as equipment, materials, and facilities. In this scenario, the rack units and power supplies needed for the servers are physical resources because they are physical items necessary for the project's execution. The network engineer is a human resource. The budget allocated is a capital resource, representing financial assets. The project timeline is a schedule, not a resource.
