Understanding Resource Pools

Resource pools provide an effective mechanism to organize human resources. They enable organizations to group resources into meaningful and logical groupings. These pools can then be defined in a hierarchy to establish relationships between different pools, enabling analytics, reporting, and capacity information.

In information technology and development organizations, individual resources are often grouped together in resource pools for planning purposes. A resource belongs to an organizational unit and a pool. Although resource pools can be identical to HR departments, you can configure them to best suit your organization's needs.
