Is your team hitting resource peaks and troughs, but you absolutely cannot push the final deadline? You need Resource Smoothing!

This targeted microlesson, ideal for candidates preparing for the APM Project Fundamentals Qualification (PFQ), dives into this crucial optimisation technique.

Resource Smoothing is the art of adjusting the use of non-critical resources to ensure demand remains relatively constant, all while respecting the overall project end date.

In this episode, you will learn:

  • The Core Principle: How Resource Smoothing differs from its counterpart, Resource Levelling.
  • The Constraint: Why smoothing must always operate within the total float available to non-critical tasks.
  • Practical Steps: Techniques for re-sequencing activities to achieve a more consistent and efficient workload.
  • The Benefit: Achieving a steadier pace, reducing stress, and improving the quality of work without changing the final delivery date.

Master this technique to build highly stable and efficient project schedules. Essential listening for effective project control and your APM PFQ success!
