Time is fixed, resources are flexible: additional resources are

Risk Assumptions
Activities with the most slack pose the least risk.

Time-Constrained Projects
Projects that must be completed by an imposed date.
Require the use of leveling techniques that focus on
balancing or smoothing resource demands by using
positive slack (delaying noncritical activities) to
manage resource utilization over the duration of the
project.
Peak resource demands are reduced.
Resources over the life of the project are reduced.
Fluctuation in resource demand is minimized.

Resource-Constrained Projects
Projects that involve resources that are limited in
quantity or by their availability.
Scheduling of activities requires the use of heuristics
(rules-of-thumb) that focus on:
Advantages
Peak resource demands are reduced.
Resources over the life of the project are reduced
reduced.
1. Minimum slack
2. Smallest (least) duration

EMR Project
The development of a handheld electronic medical
reference guide to be used by emergency medical
technicians and paramedics.
Problem
There are only eight design engineers who can be
assigned to the project due to a shortage of design
engineers and commitments to other projects.

Splitting/Multitasking
Splitting/Multitasking
Splitting/Multitasking
A scheduling technique use to get a better project
schedule and/or increase resource utilization.
Involves interrupting work on an activity to employ the
resource on another activity, then returning the resource to
finish the interrupted work.
Is feasible when startup and shutdown costs are low.
Is considered the major reason why projects fail to meet
schedule.
