As projects unfold, you may encounter challenges and unexpected events that force you to rethink your resource allocation and make changes to your project schedule. Resource leveling can help you effectively redistribute your resources to use them most efficiently so you can achieve more in less time.<\/p>\n<h2>What Is Resource Leveling in Project Management?<\/h2>\n<p>Resource leveling is a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.projectmanager.com\/guides\/resource-management\">resource planning<\/a> technique that involves balancing available resources and schedules to complete projects on time. In any given project, you\u2019ll work with limited resources that need to be used simultaneously to complete tasks within a timeline. The primary goal of resource leveling is to schedule project tasks. This is done by considering resource availability and task dependencies so that you don\u2019t overallocate your team members and none of your activities are blocked by a lack of resources.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/\">ProjectManager<\/a> is online project management software that\u2019s equipped with planning, scheduling and resource management tools such as Gantt charts, workload dashboards and timesheets. Our Gantt charts are ideal for resource leveling, filtering for the critical path and tracking resources in real time.

If you have a limited amount of time, you\u2019ll need to add extra resources to complete more tasks in less time. In the opposite case, if you have limited resources, you\u2019ll need to extend the <a href=\"\/guides\/project-scheduling\">project schedule<\/a> to complete all tasks within a feasible timeline for your team.<\/p>\n<p>However, resource leveling goes beyond these two simple scenarios. Resource leveling is also part of project management methods such as the critical path method (CPM), critical chain management, project crashing and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.projectmanager.com\/blog\/project-management-fast-tracking\">fast-tracking<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>When to Use Resource Leveling<\/h2>\n<p>There are several situations where resource leveling is used. When <a href=\"https:\/\/www.projectmanager.com\/blog\/quick-guide-resource-management\">project resources<\/a> are limited, resource leveling can help manage the schedule by delaying the finish date.<\/p>\n<p>When there are unforeseen events, such as delays or insufficient budget, resource leveling can help to avoid conflicts or manage constraints. Resource leveling is also useful when dealing with strict timelines by identifying potential problems so managers can plan and avoid surprises.<\/p>\n<div class=\"template-download-holder\">\n\t<div class=\"template-download-image-holder\">\n\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Resource-Plan-Template-Excel-image.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Resource-Plan-Template-Excel-image.png 1600w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Resource-Plan-Template-Excel-image-600x338.png 600w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Resource-Plan-Template-Excel-image-300x169.png 300w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Resource-Plan-Template-Excel-image-768x432.png 768w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Resource-Plan-Template-Excel-image-1536x864.png 1536w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Resource-Plan-Template-Excel-image-450x253.png 450w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Resource-Plan-Template-Excel-image-384x216.png 384w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Resource-Plan-Template-Excel-image-800x451.png 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/>\t<\/div><p class=\"intro\">Get your free<\/p>\n<h3>Resource Planning Template<\/h3>\n<p class=\"subtitle\">\n\tUse this free Resource Planning Template  for Excel to manage your projects better.<\/p>\n\t\t<button type=\"button\" data-file-id=\"68150\" data-categoryname=\"In blog post\" class=\"button green template-lightbox-trigger-68150\">Download Excel File<\/button>\n\t<\/div> \n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Resource Leveling vs. Resource Smoothing<\/h2>\n<p>Resource leveling and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.projectmanager.com\/blog\/resource-smoothing\">resource smoothing<\/a> are resource optimization techniques, but they serve different purposes. Resource leveling is used when resources are overallocated and resource smoothing is when there\u2019s an uneven allocation or time constraint.<\/p>\n<p>Resource leveling balances demand and supply of resources, but resource smoothing seeks to achieve uniform <a href=\"https:\/\/www.projectmanager.com\/blog\/resource-utilization-project\">resource utilization<\/a> over time. The benefits of each are also different. Resource leveling maximizes resource use, prevents burnout and increases project success. Resource smoothing minimizes fluctuation in resource demand, ensures timely completion and protects resources from changes.<\/p>\n<p>They also differ in drawbacks. Resource leveling can delay activities, require extra resources, and make it difficult to add or remove tasks. Resource smoothing limits flexibility in moving tasks and adjusting the schedule, making it hard to respond to changes.<\/p>\n<h2>Resource Leveling vs. Resource Loading<\/h2>\n<p>There are also similarities and differences between resource leveling and resource loading. Again, both work to use resources efficiently, but <a href=\"https:\/\/www.projectmanager.com\/blog\/resource-loading\">resource loading<\/a> is concerned with maximizing workforce capacity and resource leveling is also about prioritizing timelines and budgets.<\/p>\n<p>Resource loading is a process used in <a href=\"\/guides\/project-management\">project management<\/a> that fills team members\u2019 total available time with assignments throughout a work week. Resource loading is the total assigned hours of work divided by the number of hours the team must do the work.<\/p>\n<p>One of the benefits of resource loading is that it keeps project teams productive, it ensures that everyone is working at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.projectmanager.com\/training\/3-capacity-planning-tips-teams\">capacity<\/a>, without over-allocating team members, which can slow them down, erode morale and create burnout.<\/p>\n<h2>Resource Leveling Techniques<\/h2>\n<p>Let\u2019s take a look at the most common uses for resource leveling in project management and how it helps project managers better <a href=\"\/guides\/project-planning\">plan<\/a>, schedule and execute projects.<\/p>\n<h3>Critical Path Method<\/h3>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.projectmanager.com\/guides\/critical-path-method\">critical path method<\/a> is a visual project scheduling technique that allows project managers to map out all the project tasks on a diagram that shows their start and end dates, duration and dependencies, among other details.<\/p>\n<p>This information is used to identify the project\u2019s critical path, which is the sequence of activities that take the most time to complete. These activities should be managed closely because if they\u2019re delayed, the whole projectF timeline is delayed.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_70489\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-70489\" style=\"width: 1860px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.projectmanager.com\/templates\/critical-path-template\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-70489 size-full\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/critical-path-method-screenshot.png\" alt=\"Critical path method template ProjectManager\" width=\"1860\" height=\"634\" srcset=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/critical-path-method-screenshot.png 1860w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/critical-path-method-screenshot-600x205.png 600w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/critical-path-method-screenshot-1600x545.png 1600w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/critical-path-method-screenshot-300x102.png 300w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/critical-path-method-screenshot-768x262.png 768w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/critical-path-method-screenshot-1536x524.png 1536w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/critical-path-method-screenshot-450x153.png 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1860px) 100vw, 1860px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-70489\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Free Critical Path template. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.projectmanager.com\/templates\/critical-path-template\">Download now<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>That\u2019s when resource leveling comes in. Once the critical path is identified, project managers need to make sure that they allocate the right amount of resources for those tasks during the planning stage. Then, once the project execution begins, they might need to ask for more resources or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.projectmanager.com\/blog\/resource-availability-project-management\">reallocate available resources<\/a> to make sure those critical path tasks are completed on time.<\/p>\n<h3>Critical Chain Management<\/h3>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.projectmanager.com\/blog\/critical-chain-in-project-management-a-quick-guide\">critical chain method<\/a> is almost identical to CPM but focuses on resources. While CPM identifies the longest sequence of tasks in terms of length, the critical chain method identifies sequences of resource dependencies, where a resource can only be allocated to one task at a time.<\/p>\n<p>When scheduling projects with these methods, project managers can better map out their resource allocation and determine whether they have enough resources to execute their project scope, or whether they should reconsider their project schedule.<\/p>\n<h3>Fast-Tracking<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.projectmanager.com\/blog\/project-management-fast-tracking\">Fast-tracking<\/a> is a schedule compression technique that consists of reducing the time that it takes to complete a project by executing tasks simultaneously instead of sequentially. Fast-tracking is a good choice whenever there\u2019s a risk of a project running behind schedule, but there are available resources.<\/p>\n<p>In this case, project managers simply need to make changes to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.projectmanager.com\/guides\/project-scheduling\">project schedule<\/a> and reallocate resources so that project activities are completed faster.<\/p>\n<h3>Project Crashing<\/h3>\n<p>Project crashing consists of allocating additional resources for the completion of a task for faster execution. Project managers use this method to make sure projects are completed on time, at the expense of higher costs. Resource leveling is the core of this schedule compression technique, as the overall <a href=\"\/guides\/project-timeline\">project timeline<\/a> is reduced by allocating extra resources.<\/p>\n<h2>Resource Planning Template<\/h2>\n<p>This <a href=\"https:\/\/www.projectmanager.com\/templates\/resource-plan-template\">resource planning template<\/a> helps you better understand what are your available resources, what tasks are they&#8217;re going to be used for and when they&#8217;re needed. Knowing all this is important as you go through the resource-leveling process.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_65980\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-65980\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.projectmanager.com\/templates\/resource-plan-template\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"569\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-65980\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Resource-Plan-Screenshot-e1704301619226.jpg\" alt=\"resource planning template\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-65980\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Free Resource Plan template. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.projectmanager.com\/templates\/resource-plan-template\">Download now<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>However, while this template might help track your resources, it&#8217;s just an Excel file that can&#8217;t be compared with more dynamic resource management software like <a href=\"\/\">ProjectManager<\/a>. With ProjectManager, you can track your resource capacity, utilization and availability in real time and level your resources to get your project back on track with just one tool.<\/p>\n<h2>Resource Leveling Examples<\/h2>\n<p>To better understand how resource leveling works, let\u2019s look at a real-life scenario. Imagine you\u2019re managing a construction project and weather conditions delay your project completion date by weeks. There\u2019s work that needs to be redone, and your project team is behind schedule in terms of task execution. How can you complete this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.projectmanager.com\/guides\/project-timeline\">project on time<\/a>? What can you do if there aren&#8217;t enough resources? What can you do if there\u2019s no more time? Based on this scenario, let\u2019s take a look at two resource-leveling examples.<\/p>\n<h3>Fast Tracking: Resource Leveling with Limited Resources<\/h3>\n<p>If it\u2019s not possible to ask for extra resources, you\u2019ll need to extend your project schedule to complete all the work required to complete your construction project with the available resources on hand.<\/p>\n<p>There are several times when fast-tracking a project schedule is needed. To know, ask these questions: Are all the tasks in the project scope properly reflected in the project schedule? Have project task dependencies been identified? Are project <a href=\"https:\/\/www.projectmanager.com\/blog\/resource-requirements\">resource requirements<\/a>, objectives and priorities defined? Are there issues with governance, oversight and problem management?<\/p>\n<p>Fast-tracking can help in industries such as construction where a sudden shortage of raw materials prevents the contractor from starting on time. When the supplies arrive, the contractor must fast-track to get the project back on schedule. This is how a normal project schedule looks like, tasks are completed sequentially where one task starts after its preceding task has been completed, resembling a waterfall.<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"459\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-71190\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/residential-construction-project-schedule-1-1600x459.png\" alt=\"project schedule before fast tracking\" srcset=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/residential-construction-project-schedule-1-1600x459.png 1600w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/residential-construction-project-schedule-1-600x172.png 600w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/residential-construction-project-schedule-1-300x86.png 300w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/residential-construction-project-schedule-1-768x220.png 768w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/residential-construction-project-schedule-1-1536x441.png 1536w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/residential-construction-project-schedule-1-450x129.png 450w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/residential-construction-project-schedule-1.png 1691w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/>\n<p>This is the same construction schedule after it&#8217;s been fast tracked. As you can see the project schedule looks compressed now that tasks are executed simultaneously, which reduces the project timeline length without requiring any additional resources.<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1432\" height=\"480\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-71191\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/fast-tracking-project-schedule.png\" alt=\"project schedule after fast tracking\" srcset=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/fast-tracking-project-schedule.png 1432w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/fast-tracking-project-schedule-600x201.png 600w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/fast-tracking-project-schedule-300x101.png 300w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/fast-tracking-project-schedule-768x257.png 768w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/fast-tracking-project-schedule-450x151.png 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1432px) 100vw, 1432px\" \/>\n<h3>Project Crashing: Resource Leveling with Limited Time<\/h3>\n<p>When a construction project must be completed by a due date, you\u2019ll need to ask for more resources and try fast-tracking or project crashing. If you decide to fast-track your project, you\u2019ll need to identify <a href=\"https:\/\/www.projectmanager.com\/templates\/project-task-tracking-template\">task dependencies<\/a> to determine which tasks can be executed simultaneously and which can\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>For example, you can\u2019t begin with roofing activities without building the walls first. On the other hand, you can fast-track activities that don\u2019t depend on each other such as masonry, plumbing and electrical work. If you choose project crashing, you\u2019ll simply need to estimate what project resources are needed for each task, and allocate additional resources so that those tasks can be completed faster.<\/p>\n<h2>More Resource Leveling Templates<\/h2>\n<p>There are more templates available to help with resource-leveling. Our site has over 100 <a href=\"\/pm-templates\">free project management templates<\/a> for Excel and Word that cover every phase of a project across multiple industries.

If that fails, the results could mean a delayed project, missing out on resources as they get shuffled to other departments, and costing your company money.<\/p>\n<p>Problems due to poor resource leveling could have a domino effect. Suppliers could be delayed, factories could be unavailable, shipments could be missed, production could be offset and forced into a time crunch, and leadership could be impacted by the disruption to their bottom line.<\/p>\n<p>At its core, resource leveling is a crisis management method. Dealing with compounding conflicts? Resource leveling untangles them. However, it usually does that at the expense of one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.projectmanager.com\/blog\/triple-constraint-project-management-time-scope-cost\">triple constraints of project management<\/a>\u2014cost, scope, or time. So even at the outset, the risk of error is high, and minor mishaps are baked into the process.<\/p>\n<p>Because this process juggles resources between projects, it has the potential to make things much more complicated than they would have been at the project&#8217;s outset. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to have a mechanism in place to track your project\u2019s timeline and milestones so you never miss a beat.<\/p>\n<h2>ProjectManager Offers Advanced Resource Leveling Tools<\/h2>\n<p>As previously mentioned, with an online platform like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.projectmanager.com\/\">ProjectManager<\/a>, you can access project management tools to schedule resources, balance workloads and reassign tasks.
