What is the primary purpose of resource leveling in Mega Goal execution?

• A. It accelerates work by forcing overtime
• B. It eliminates the need for risk management
• C. It avoids resource overallocation and ensures a feasible schedule
• D. It sets fixed delivery dates regardless of resources

Answer: (C)

Resource leveling focuses on aligning the project plan with actual resource availability. When the same resource is needed for multiple tasks at the same time, leveling shifts task start times or reassigns work so no resource is overallocated. The result is a feasible schedule that respects capacity constraints, even if that means the overall duration may extend. It isn’t about forcing overtime or ignoring risk management, and it doesn’t lock in fixed delivery dates if resources can’t support them. By balancing demand with capacity, you end up with a realistic, achievable plan.
