1) A projects resource utilization profile is very irregular due several complex activities that require large equipment and significant labor. Some of these complex activities have floats and some are on the critical path. The PM wants to limit the daily labor utilization through resource leveling to achieve a more uniform labor utilization profile. If the logic of the projects schedule cannot be changed, this resource leveling may results in

a. Increase the limit on the availability of certain resources

b. Start the project on the planned start date but maintaining the resource limits and allowing the project to finish at a date later than the projected finish date

c. If feasible, start the project earlier than the planned start date

d. All of the above

e. a and c only

2) We may be able to level our resources more efficiently if we assume the activities to be interruptible

True or False

3) A project manager may shorten the duration of a project in many ways, except:

a. Work overtime

b. Improve project management/supervision

c. Hire a second, and possibly a third, shift

d. Doing resource leveling

e. Revisit/study the schedule thoroughly to find any errors or unnecessary logic or constraints

f. Fast-track the project
