Manage project resources

Carry out high-level planning of skills and resources required to realize a project. Manage the skill and resource requests made by organizations and projects to ensure that resource constraints won't impact a project. Project team members can manage their project tasks, report the time worked on their tasks, keep track of timesheets and understand the time schedule of projects and the skills they have been requested to provide.
