Scheduling projects classified as resource-constrained focuses on completing the project as soon as possible under the given resource constraints.

Why is a schedule not a schedule until resources have been assigned? Provide a real life example that illustrates your explanation.

Resource leveling or smoothing is only used on projects which are resource constrained.

In a resource-constrained project the third priority in assigning resources is usually given to activities with the

If resources are truly limited and activity time estimates are accurate,the resource-constrained schedule will materialize as the project is implemented,not the time-constrained schedule.

Which of the following is NOT one of the more common problems associated with scheduling multiproject resources?

Resource dependency takes priority over technological dependency but it does not violate it.

Splitting an activity can result in all of the following EXCEPT

Too many parallel activities for one individual is an example of a resource constraint.

Sam,the project engineer,has been scheduled to run the product system test at the same time he is to build a marketing prototype.This is an example of what type of resource constraint?

When scheduling activities in a resource-constrained project,typically the activity scheduled first has the __________ amount of slack.

Startup and shutdown costs are major considerations when using the ________________ scheduling technique.

All leveling techniques delay noncritical activities by using positive slack to smooth out the resource requirements.

All of the following are types of resource constraints EXCEPT

What is the difference in project goals when using resource leveling on time-constrained projects and using it on resource-constrained projects?

In a resource-constrained project the second priority in assigning resources is usually given to activities with the

A(n)________ constraint addresses the sequence in which project activities must occur even after considering resource constraints.

When classifying projects,________ constrained means that a specific resource is fixed and the duration of the project is flexible.
