Description

Have you ever looked at a crowded schedule and wondered how to balance the workload? This focused microlesson, perfect for students of the APM Project Fundamentals Qualification (PFQ), tackles the practical art of resource optimisation.

We show you how to use a Gantt Chart not just for scheduling, but as a dynamic tool for balancing your project team.

You will learn:

  • Resource Levelling: The technique of smoothing out peaks and troughs in demand by delaying non-critical tasks.
  • Resource Smoothing: Adjusting activity sequences to ensure resource use stays within specific limits.
  • Visual Optimisation: How the Gantt Chart visually reveals over-allocation and helps you make practical scheduling adjustments.

Master this episode to turn your static schedule into an optimised, achievable plan. It's the essential knowledge you need for effective project governance and success in your APM PFQ!
