If a resource leveling heuristic, such as 45 hours maximum per time period, is enforced on the

project, then the project schedule will take

longer to complete.

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 A is incorrect. The 45-hour limit is a restriction on the project.

Answer option C is incorrect. The project will not take less time to complete because the project

team members won't be able to complete as

much work in the same amount of time.

Answer option D is incorrect. The project may require more resources if the project manager and

management want the project to finish by a

particular date. In this question, however, the focus is on what will happen to the project schedule,

not the project staffing.

Lag time is positive time that requires the successor activity to wait for a defined

amount of time, such as three days, before it can begin. Lag

time does not change the task relationship, but requires a 'waiting time' before the starting of the

activity can begin.

A lag time is a delay between the predecessor and the successor tasks. Sometimes it may be needed

to schedule a delay between the

predecessor and the successor tasks. For example, if two coats of paint are required to paint a car,

then the final coat should be applied only

when the first coat dries. This delay is known as the lag time. The lag time is entered as a positive

value. The lag time can be entered as a

duration or as a percentage of the predecessor's task duration. It is entered on the Predecessor tab

in the Task Information dialog box.

Answer option D is incorrect. Float is a natural event that is discovered through the forward pass

when using the critical path method. Float

cannot be arbitrarily added as lag.

Answer option C is incorrect. Lead time actually brings activities closer together and causes them, in

some cases, to overlap.

Answer option B is incorrect. Management reserve is a pool of time allotted for unscheduled

changes and events that affect the project

duration.
