After verifying the scope of the project, the next logical step is to verify resources. Ensuring that adequate resources are available and appropriately allocated is critical for addressing delays and budget overruns.

Resource Verification:

Ensures sufficient personnel, budget, and tools are allocated.

Identifies bottlenecks caused by resource shortages or misallocation.

Importance After Scope:

Once the scope is validated, resource availability is a primary factor in meeting schedules and budgets.

Other Options:

Time Schedules: Relevant but dependent on resource availability.

Budget: Can be reviewed after ensuring resources match the scope.

Constraints: Important for project planning but not the immediate next step.

Resource Allocation Strategies: Highlights the role of resource verification in resolving project delays.

Project Management Frameworks: Stresses the importance of aligning resources with project scope and timelines.
