What does a resource histogram show?

The total budget for each time period
The total resources used in each time period
The total number of people needed for the project
The total tasks completed in each time period

The correct answer is: The total resources used in each time period

A resource histogram shows the total resources used in each time period. It provides a visual representation of resource allocation over the duration of a project, helping project managers to identify periods of high resource usage and potential resource conflicts. This information is crucial for effective resource planning and management to ensure that the project stays on track and within budget. The other options are incorrect: A. The total budget for each time period is not shown in a resource histogram. Budgets are usually represented in a cost or budgeted cost curve. C. The total number of people needed for the project is typically not depicted in a resource histogram. It focuses on the actual resource usage rather than the total number of people required. D. The total tasks completed in each time period are not the focus of a resource histogram. Task completion is usually tracked in a Gantt chart or a project schedule.
