- labor resources
- material resources
- resources with a fixed cost

Description |
Labor resources |
Those are the resources that are charged per hour. That can be team members or virtual resources such as vendors, outsourced contractors, freelancers, or any other professionals. |
Material resources |
Those are the resources that are charged per item. That can be any physical materials used in a project like, for example, tools, machines, software, or facilities. |
Resources with a fixed cost |
Those are all the resources whose cost is fixed and cannot be calculated per hour or per item. They are not displayed in the Resource workload window. For example, it can include employees’ bonuses, licenses, legal permits, consultancy services, particular material resources, and everything that has a defined cost and does not require calculations, but does form part of overall project budget and will be counted in the Budget analysis report. |
