The Project Management Tool Kit: 100 Tips and Techniques for Getting the Job Done Right

Review Staffing Procedures and Standards

For projects that will need to add staff through hiring, employee transfer, contracting, or other means, ensure that you understand the processes required and that you have commitment from your project sponsor and others in your organization who must support and approve the process. Locate and use templates, filled-out forms, and other staffing documents to minimize effort and potential problems in moving forward.

Identify the support people in your organization (such as legal, procurement, and human resources) who will be involved, and obtain their commitment to assist your project.
