Resource Leveling

Bill Carmody explains resource leveling, a project management technique to resolve resource over-allocation and scheduling conflicts. It involves adjusting resources or schedules to meet project constraints like time, cost, and scope. Resource leveling helps manage budgets, absorb project hiccups, and maintain quality. It requires balancing resources across projects and may involve extending deadlines or adding resources. The goal is to optimize resource use while achieving project priorities, whether meeting deadlines or staying within budget.
