After constructing a project network based on technical constraints and reviewing resource requirements throughout the project, Anne realizes many peaks and valleys in regard to resource usage. At one point Anne needs 6 developers, but top management has made it very clear that she will not have access to more than 4. Classify Anne's project in terms of her scheduling problem. What are her options at this point?

Fill in the blank(s) with the appropriate word(s).


Answer will vary

Anne's project is classified as a resource-constrained project. Anne can attempt the resource leveling or smoothing method. This may reduce the peak demand for resources, the fluctuations in resource demand, and it may even reduce the resources needed over the life of the project; however, if there is not enough slack to absorb the resource demand, Anne will have to use resource-constrained scheduling. With this method, the length of her project may be extended.
