The State of Resource Management in 2026

Resource management is evolving fast. Where does your team stand? Our second annual State of Resource Management report reveals how the function is shifting in 2026 – from the fight for strategic recognition to AI adoption to the tools teams actually rely on.

What's inside:

  • The trends shaping the practice. The key challenges and shifts RM leaders need to understand to stay ahead in 2026.
  • The strategic role of RM. Why some RM functions have a seat at the table and others are still seen as a scheduling service – and what makes the difference.
  • The perception problem. How resource management is viewed across organizations, and what it takes to shift from operational function to strategic lever.
  • The AI divide. Where AI adoption truly stands: expectations vs. practical value.
  • The tools teams rely on. What RM professionals are actually using and how.

Based on responses from 100+ resource management professionals across 11+ industries.
