What options do project managers have to alleviate resource problems? Briefly describe each method
What will be an ideal response?
The methods are resource leveling, resource allocation, and resource acquisition. Resource leveling can be used to reduce the peaks and valleys in resource needs by shifting the schedules of conflicting activities within their earliest and latest start dates. Resource allocation attempts to shift resources from activities with slack to those on the critical path where resources are overloaded. Resource acquisition adds more of an overloaded resource to maintain the schedule of activity.
