Process Assessment
I have never developed, or been asked to develop, a human resource plan in my life. However, after studying these this process and looking back on the HR problems I've had in my career, I think this would be one of the most useful exercises I could use in project management. Getting a handle on what types of people I will need, exactly what they'll be doing, and using this information to help the HR department make sure I have the right people at the right time would have saved me a lot of headaches in the past. I hope I have the chance to use this process in the future.
