Learning Activity # $5$: Group $2$

Case Study : Software Development Project

A software development project is behind schedule, and the project

manager needs to find a way to reduce the project duration without

compromising quality. The project manager considers fast$-$tracking the

project by overlapping activities but realizes that this may compromise the

quality of the software. The project manager decides to use resource

leveling instead by reallocating resources from non$-$critical activities to

critical activities. The project manager also decides to negotiate with

stakeholders to extend the project deadline.

Discussion Questions:

What are the benefits of using resource leveling instead of fast$-$tracking in

this scenario?

$2.$What are the potential risks of resource leveling in this scenario?

How can the project manager ensure that quality is not compromised

while using resource leveling to reduce project duration?
