Question #: 59
Topic #: 7

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?

AIt will require fewer resources due to the cut in the project scope.

BIt will require additional resources for the additions to the project scope.

CIt will require additional resources if it is to finish in the same amount of time, as originally
predicted.

DIt will require a new scope baseline to reflect the management change in the project
approach.

Show Suggested 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.
