What is Resource Levelling? And how does it differ from Resource Smoothing?

What is the primary goal of resource leveling in project management?

• To shorten project duration

• To reduce project costs

• To resolve resource conflicts by fair allocation

• To increase the number of resources

Which of the following is a strategy used in resource leveling?

• Reducing project scope

• Hiring more managers

• Delaying start times of tasks

• Increasing project budget

How does resource smoothing differ from resource leveling?

• It increases the number of resources

• It shortens project duration

• It reduces project costs

• It focuses on balancing workload over time

What is a key characteristic of resource smoothing?

• Increasing project budget

• Managing time constraints

• Hiring more managers

• Reducing project scope

What is a disadvantage of using automated algorithms for resource management?

• They are always accurate

• They require clearly defined skills and tasks

• They are cost-effective

• They reduce project duration

When is manual resource leveling more suitable?

• When project costs need to be reduced

• For projects with a short duration

• When skills and tasks are complex and not easily articulated

• For large projects with many resources

What is a requirement for using algorithmic resource leveling?

• A small number of resources

• A short project timeline

• A large project budget

• Clearly defined skills for each task
