Is your project schedule demanding one key person be in two places at once? That's the challenge of resource over-allocation, and Resource Levelling is the solution!

This essential microlesson, perfect for those studying for the APM Project Fundamentals Qualification (PFQ), teaches you how to tackle these schedule conflicts head-on.

You will learn:

• The Problem: How over-allocation creates risk and instability in your project plan.
• The Solution: The technique of Resource Levelling—adjusting the project schedule (and potentially the end date) to resolve resource conflicts.
• The Trade-Off: Understanding the necessary compromise between resolving over-allocation and potentially extending the project's critical path.
• Priority Rules: Key heuristics used to decide which task gets the resource when a conflict arises.

Mastering Resource Levelling is fundamental to creating a realistic, achievable, and risk-managed schedule. Tune in now to ensure your project plan is balanced and ready for execution!
