A project manager is facing resource constraints and needs to adjust the project schedule without changing the project duration. Which technique should they employ?
Resource smoothing
Crashing
Fast tracking
Resource leveling
Resource smoothing is the correct technique to use in this scenario. Unlike resource leveling, which can extend the project timeline, resource smoothing aims to balance resource usage within the existing project constraints. It adjusts activities within their available float without changing the project end date. This technique is particularly useful when there are fixed deadlines or when the project duration cannot be extended. Resource smoothing helps optimize resource allocation and reduce peaks and valleys in resource utilization while maintaining the original project timeline.
