[All PMI-SP Questions]

You are the project manager for your organization. You have created the project schedule and have

presented it to the management for their

approval. Management decides to enforce resource leveling heuristics on your project schedule.

What will likely happen to your project now?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

Resource leveling heuristics limits the amount of time a resource is allowed to work in a

given time period. This action typically increases the

project duration. By adding additional resources to effort-driven activity the project can still

complete, often, in the same schedule, otherwise

the duration of the project will increase.

Answer option B is incorrect. Resource leveling heuristics does not change the project scope.

Answer option A is incorrect. This is not an instance of cutting the project scope.

Answer option D is incorrect. The project scope baseline is not affected by resource leveling

heuristics.

I thought leveling would just optimize what we have, not add more!

D makes sense too, new scope baseline is a must.

Wait, how can we finish on time if we’re leveling resources?

Sounds like we might need more resources to keep on schedule.

I'm a bit confused about the scope changes. Does resource leveling always mean we need to change the scope baseline, or is that just sometimes?

This sounds similar to a practice question I did where we had to consider the impact on resources. I feel like option C makes sense if we want to stick to the original timeline.

I think if management is enforcing resource leveling, it might mean we need to adjust the timeline, but I can't recall if that means we need more resources or just a new baseline.

I remember reading that resource leveling can push out the project timeline, but I'm not sure how that affects the overall scope.

Assigning an RS to priority accounts seems like it could be a good way to get the ball rolling, but I'm not sure if that should be the absolute first step. Might be better to get a bit more information first.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know penetration testing is more hands-on, but I'm not sure if that necessarily makes it more thorough. I'll have to think this through carefully.

I'm a bit confused by the reduce() method here. I'll need to double-check my understanding of how it behaves with an empty array.
