CAPM (Certified Associate in Project Management) Practice Exam

What is the goal of resource leveling?

1. To enhance communication among team members

2. To ensure early project completion

3. To balance resource demand with supply

4. To allocate additional resources to high risk activities

The correct answer is: To balance resource demand with supply

Resource leveling is the process of matching the demand for resources with the available supply in order to effectively manage resources and avoid overallocation or underutilization. Option A may be a desired outcome of effective resource leveling, but it is not the main goal. Option B is not always feasible or desirable, as it may lead to increased costs or sacrifice quality. Option D is not the goal of resource leveling, as it is focused on effectively managing existing resources rather than allocating additional ones.
