A global software program has specialized technicians assigned to overlapping development tasks. The sponsor reports fatigue across the team and wants to maintain critical delivery dates. Which technique best addresses these resource conflicts?
Accelerate tasks by adding more external contractors to finish development ahead of plan
Organize tasks to run at the same time to reduce the total schedule length
Adjust task start and finish dates so the same individuals are not assigned to overlapping tasks
Stop active tasks until the specialized team has fewer responsibilities
Shifting tasks to avoid loading the specialized team members at the same time is an example of resource leveling. This technique resolves over-allocation by rescheduling tasks within existing constraints. Adding staff from outside can cause quality risks without addressing schedule sequencing. Placing more tasks in parallel may worsen conflicts. Halting tasks does not systematically manage resource demand and can jeopardize deliverables.
