# Resourcing Request

Sending a Resourcing Request is a way of booking a set of human resources for future work. It is a compilation of [allocations](https://help.conduite.app/books/glossary/page/capacity "Capacity") for a period of time: someone working on something for a certain number of days over a period of time.

In Conduite, Resourcing Requests are sent in 2 instances:

- **During the Business Development phase** when the [Sales Team](https://help.conduite.app/books/glossary/page/sales-team "Sales Team") wants to book resources ahead of the signing of contract. They do this directly from the [Budget Builder](https://help.conduite.app/books/user-manual/page/budget-builder "Budget Builder") using the Send Resourcing Request Addon feature.
- **During the project execution phase** when [Project Managers](https://help.conduite.app/books/glossary/page/project-manager "Project Manager") send their [Project Report Out](https://help.conduite.app/books/user-manual/page/project-report-out-database "Project Report Out Database") to update the [Capacity Manager](https://help.conduite.app/books/glossary/page/capacity-manager "Capacity Manager") on how much capacity they need to finish the project.
