Expected Outcome: [What the Resources Aim to Achieve]

In this section, outline the specific goals that the allocated resources aim to achieve. These outcomes should be measurable and aligned with the project’s objectives. The outcome serves as a guiding metric for evaluating the success of resource utilization throughout the project lifecycle.
