Frequently found in
scheduling projects. For
example, schedule
critical activities first,
then schedule activities
with the shortest
duration.
Techniques used to Leveling
examine a project for an
unbalanced use of
resources, and for
resolving resource
over-allocations
The planned time- Planned Value (PV)
phased baseline of the
value of the work
scheduled. Previously
this was called
budgeted cost of work
scheduled (BCWS).
A project that assumes Resource-constraint project
resources are limited
(fixed) and therefore
time is variable.
If resources are Resource Smothering
adequate but the
demand varies widely
over the life of the
project, it may be
desirable to even out
resource demand by
delaying noncritical
activities (using slack) to
lower peak demand
and, thus, increase
resource utilization.

A scheduling technique Splitting
in which work is
interrupted on one
activity and the
resource is assigned to
another activity for a
period of time, then
reassigned to work on
the original activity.
A project that assumes Time-constraint project
time is fixed and, if
resources are needed,
they will be added.
Planned costs that are Time-phased budget baseline
broken down by distinct
time periods (e.g.,
$5,000 per week) for a
work package, as
opposed to a budget
for a whole job/project
(6 months for a total of
$130,000); allows better
cost control by
measuring the actual
rate of expenditure
versus the planned
expenditure rate over
small pieces of the
project
