Jan is trying to reallocate resources in a time-constrained project to create smoother resource utilization.She should first identify activities with the

List and briefly describe the disadvantages of resource leveling or smoothing.

The inability to fit more than two earth movers on a construction site at the same time when more are needed to complete the activity on time is an example of a physical constraint.

Resource dependency takes priority over technological dependency but it does not violate it.

All leveling techniques delay noncritical activities by using ________ to reduce peak demand.

A project cost baseline is also called __________.

In a resource-constrained project the second priority in assigning resources is usually given to activities with the

These are all guidelines a project manager should consider when EXCEPT

Having one person responsible for performing several activities, all due at the same time, is an example of a(n)________ constraint.

Why is a schedule not a schedule until resources have been assigned? Provide a real life example that illustrates your explanation.

Rachel is working on a project that technically allows three activities to be done at the same time.If they were to be implemented at the same time, she would need 5 contractors in order for the activities to be completed on time.There are only 3 available for her to use.This is an example of what type of constraint?

A project budget report is showing our project as spending $35,000 against a budgeted amount of $40,000.We can assume that everything is going as planned and that we are under budget.

To determine if a project is time-constrained or resource-constrained you would consult the project priority matrix.

When a project is classified as resource-constrained and a resource constraint exists, the project duration is typically __________.

Most of the scheduling methods available today require the project manager to classify the project as either _______ constrained or ______ constrained.

Since resource leveling or smoothing delays noncritical activities, a common result is a decrease in network sensitivity.

When leveling schedules to overcome resource constraints, ___________ is increased.

Delaying noncritical activities to lower peak demand and, thus, increase resource utilization is called resource __________.
