Question

You create person loading charts for the three members of a research team you’re managing for the next month. For this project, a full-time commitment is 40 hours a week. However, you find that team member #1 is committed 40, 45, 60, and 30 hours per week; team member #2 is committed 40, 40, 20 and 20 hours per week; team member #3 is committed 60, 40, 60 and 20 hours per week. Assuming your team members are similarly qualified, what are some options you have for resource leveling to avoid over committing resources?

Explanation / Answer

Solutions can vary,But options include allocate time unevenly over the duration of one or more activities, identify and take advantage of any slack time (which is cannot be estimated given the limited details of this question), assign some of the work to someone else on the project, have new people assigned to a project, or hire an external vendor or contractor to perform some of the work was originally going to be done internally.
