Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
This is an example of a resource requirement. The project needs four electrical engineers even though the resources are not within your department. Your organization could be a matrix structure, or it could hire resources from outside the organization.
Incorrect Answers:
A: An assumption would be believing the resource is available for the project without confirming the availability of the resource.
B: This is not an example of a risk, unless the resource is constrained by other projects, schedules, or work and may not be available at all when needed.
D: A resource constraint is evident when the project requires the electrical engineer and she is not available. A requirement, as in this scenario, is simply the identification of the needed resource even if the resource is not available in your department.
