Managing Resources

A resource dictates who or what, is responsible for completing a particular activity in a process. At the higher level processes of an enterprise, the activity resource is usually the process owner, that is, the person ultimately responsible for the overall process. At the lower levels, resources are usually the job titles, machines, and systems responsible for executing specific activities. One or more resources might be added to a single activity; additionally, you can add a single resource to multiple activities. It is also possible to merge two resources.

Resources that are available for all process maps are called central resources. Resources that are available to a single process map are local resources.
