Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

A resource event is a non-scheduled activity that affects the availability and capacity of a resource or a group of resources. Examples of resource events are vacations, holidays, training, or sick leave. Resource events can be created by resource managers or resources themselves, and they can be viewed in the resource calendar or the resource workbench. You can find more information about resource events in theProduct Documentationfor ServiceNow.

I want to say it's only schedules, but that doesn't seem right. I feel like both have to be involved somehow.

I remember discussing FTEs in class, but I can't recall if schedules play a role too. Maybe it's just FTE?

I'm feeling pretty confident about this one. I'm pretty sure resource capacity is derived from both FTE and schedules, so I'll go with option B.

Okay, I've got a strategy for this. I'll start by defining what FTE and schedules are, then consider how each one might impact resource capacity. That should help me arrive at the right answer.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this. I know resource capacity is important, but I'm not sure if it's derived from FTE, schedules, or both. I'll have to think this through.

I think this is a tricky one. I'll need to carefully consider the differences between FTE and schedules to determine which one(s) are used to derive resource capacity.

The Wolfsberg Group guidelines are specific about systematic checks and documentation. I'd choose A, B, and C for sure.

Okay, let me break this down. Virtualization allows you to run multiple operating systems and applications on a single physical machine. I think the key is to identify which statement best captures that.

This is a tricky one! I could see arguments for both 'Schedules' and 'Both' being correct. Maybe the question is a bit ambiguous?

I'm leaning towards option D, 'Only FTE'. I've seen a lot of project management tools that use FTE as the primary input for resource capacity.

Hmm, I don't think 'Neither' is correct. Resource capacity has to be based on something, and FTE and schedules are the most common sources of that information.
