CompTIA Project+ (PK0-004) — Question 546

A project team member states that the tasks identified in the project schedule for the week greatly exceed the number of available hours for the week.
Which of the following activities would have allowed the project manager to identify and correct this issue in advance?

Answer options

• A. Risk identification
• B. Gate review
• C. Resource allocation
• D. Resource leveling

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Resource leveling is the process of adjusting the project schedule to ensure that resources are allocated effectively without overloading them. This would have helped the project manager identify the overcommitment of tasks relative to available hours. The other options do not specifically address the issue of resource allocation and scheduling conflicts.
