PMI Exam PMI-SP Topic 8 Question 87 Discussion

The activity resource requirements will need to be addressed because the imposed

constraint will cause a need for more resource to complete

the activities by July 2.

What is resource leveling heuristics?

Resource leveling heuristics is a prioritization method that allocates inadequate resources to critical

path activities first. It is

a schedule network analysis technique useful to a schedule that has already been analyzed by the

critical path method. It

is used when shared or critical essential resources are only available at certain times, in limited

quantities, or to keep

resource usage at a constant level. It is a technique that resolves resource conflicts by delaying tasks

within their slack

allowances. Resource leveling is the process in which project teams come across problems when

developing their project

schedules. If a company has multiple projects running simultaneously that require the same

resources, then problems can

arise. It can often cause the critical path method to change.

Answer option C is incorrect. The project scope does not need to be addressed as there has not been

a request to reduce or increase the

project scope.

Answer option B is incorrect. The project charter will not change. In fact, the charter will rarely, if

ever, change once has been approved and

signed.

Answer option D is incorrect. The schedule management plan would not be the biggest concern in

this instance. The plan defines how the

schedule will be created, executed, monitored and controlled.
