1. The Association for Project Management stated the following, "to provide leadership to the movement of commited organizations and individuals who share our passion for improving project outcomes."

I would be happy to give my personal opinion regarding the mission of the above organization in this descriptive way: In a world where the administration of a project has become a major solution for innovation, it's important to understand that our future depends on the success of our projects. Valid at all times, this evidence deserves to be regularly reminded. Spearhead of any strategy, the projects promote the emergence of innovative solutions ... but project management cannot be improvised.

From this thorough thought, the rationale of the Association for Project Management is to promote principles, methods, and tools of project management, first inside the Association for its committed organization and individual members and, second outside the Association with those who work for the contribution to the development of ISO standards dedicated to project management. In addition, the Association recognizes the professionalism of those who exercise project management in the daily, that is, it provides leadership to professional users/organizations evolving project management activities.

2. When knowing the project duration from the start date to the final testing and close out, knowing the vacation schedule of the key members may lead to adjustment in the scope of the project. The PM may have to adjust the milestones around these people, I would look towards the next week that they return. My thinking on this would be their mind the week before they would be just doing whats needs to be done, and the week they return will be catching up on other work. Very important to know all members vacation and share this information in a data base for all members to see, this way if one needs an answer they would know they are gone for the week.

3. The software management package I found. OpenAir is a resource management software utilized for resource planning for future and real-time resource utilization. The software has the ability to track skills and availability of employees. OpenAir can give you real time data of the available resources and this can be a real asset to finding the proper resources to start and finish a project. All data is centralized in one location so this can assist with local and global projects. There are reporting tools used to determine forecasting of resources and resource utilization. OpenAir also offers templates to help businesses use the best model of resource management to meet the company needs.
