5.5 Resources

Before we look at this in more depth, it must be noted that a resource doesn't just mean a natural resource such as oil or coal, a resource can mean many other things such as human resources, even time should be included as a resource. One dictionary definition of a resource is "An available supply that can be drawn on when needed". A technology can fail due to a resource because its cost is too great, the resource could be too rare, or the resource could be lost midway through the project. These will now be discussed in more detail.
