Resource management is the process of planning resources to reach their maximal efficiency. It’s the process that answers the ‘who is doing what and when’ question. But also the 'what is where' question. It’s allocating a task to Mike, it’s booking the meeting room or the piece of equipment or machinery to know where it is and how long it’s going to be there. 

In a small-sized organization, resource management can be done with Excel spreadsheets, calendar application or a team-centered planning tool. However, as the number of resources grows, the need for aresource management software arises.  The right resource management tool will make your job easier and will put you in control.
