This question is designed to have the student rationalize what resources will be required for a project, and given their role, which might hold a higher importance based on the task assignment. Look for skill assessment and the use of internal versus external contracted resources. Some of this might be slightly subjective in assessment. The general idea is they have a process for evaluating resources.

What will be an ideal response?

As most organizations will try to use internal resources as much as possible, it will
usually be a last resort to contract external resources. In most cases those providing
contracted resources know there is a level of “need” and the price will reflect that. This
answer can go into several areas such as issues with contracted human resource skill set
assessment, lack of team interaction, “the expert” syndrome, and so on. In some cases there might be a lack of experts in the organization and an expert is welcome! Sometimes
an outside view can bring a different perspective on things.
