Project Management Professional Practice Question

During schedule analysis you discover that two mechanical engineers are assigned to three critical-path activities at the same time, creating a clear overallocation. You decide to apply the resource-optimization technique known as resource leveling. Which statement accurately describes the potential impact of resource leveling on the project schedule?

  • It preserves the original finish date by adjusting only non-critical activities within their float.

  • It cannot change the critical path but evens out resource usage inside the existing schedule baseline.

  • It is used only when a fixed, immovable deadline is the project's highest priority.

  • It may delay activities on the critical path and extend the project completion date in order to remove overallocation.
