PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Part A-Question 1
Part A-Question 2
a) Explanation for the selection of resource
The problem of resource over allocation that is associated with the project can be
properly resolved by levelling the resources of the project effectively. It is found that while
the resource levelling is performed it is quite important to uncheck the activities that reflect
task split as well as adjustment that is performed on individual assignment. Thus, it is found
that due to levelling of resources, the entire project duration increases while the budget of the
project remains the same.
b) Comparison
BSA_PartAQ1.mpp BSA_PartAQ2.mpp
Total duration Total cost Total duration Total cost
161 days $ 382,300.00 205 days $ 382,300.00
c) Difference between the mpp files
The mpp file that is created for PartAQ1 mainly reflects that the time that is generally
required for executing the activities of the project will be 161 days however the mpp that is
mainly created for the PartAQ2 reflects that the required time is 205 days. It is found that the
time or duration of the project increases as the resources of the project are levelled in order to
resolve the issues that are associated with resource over-allocation.
