The Critical Chain method examines the availability of project resources to determine when the
resource may be utilized without conflicting
with other activities.
The Critical Chain method is a project management technique in which schedule network analysis is
used for the purpose of modifying and
determining a set of project schedules to account for more inadequate than estimated project
financial resources. This method tends to keep
the resources levelly loaded, but requires the resources to be flexible in their start times and to
quickly switch between tasks and task chains
to keep the whole project on schedule. In the Critical Chain method, projects are completed more
rapidly and with better scheduling
consistency.
Answer option C is incorrect. The Critical Path method examines the duration of the critical path to
determine the finish date for the project. It
does not consider when project activities are available.
Answer option B is incorrect. Resource utilization simply means that the resource is scheduled for
work.
Answer option D is incorrect. A resource leveling heuristic is a guideline, such as a maximum of 35
hours per week, per resource. It is a rule
that usually signals the maximum amount of hours a resource may be utilized on the project.
