Abstract
This article will explain the resource breakdown structure RBS, a tool that can be used in project management. The target audience for this article is students new to courses of project management. The article will present benefits and disadvantages of using RBS.
Resource breakdown structure is a hierarchical model used to provide information about which resources are needed in a project and necessary data about the resources. Each level down in the hierarchy gives more detailed information about the specific resource than the one above. It is often the project manager who sets up the model, with input from the rest of the team. The resources in the hierarchy will be divided into several parts, for example types and categories and the article will explain the terms and the point of using these. The needed level of details of resources can be different in all projects and the RBS can therefore be adjusted to fit the specific project. RBS can be divided into two main groups, organizational and geographical, whereas organizational is the most common one and the geographical is used less frequently. The article will explain the reason for this and the purpose of dividing them into these groups.
