A resource team allocation is when you make an entire resource team available for work on an investment. The primary resource role of each person in the team is selected by default and cannot be edited. The resource team can be allocated to a task-based investment or activity-based investment. For task-based investments, the resource team needs to be allocated to the investment before resources can be assigned tasks.
