في عالم إدارة المشاريع، الوقت هو المال، ولكن الموارد أيضًا. وموازنة هذين العنصرين الحاسمين هي المكان الذي تدخل فيه **تسوية الموارد**.
**ما هي تسوية الموارد؟**
تسوية الموارد هي تقنية جدولة المشاريع تستخدم لتحسين تخصيص الموارد من خلال تلطيف ذروة الطلبات. تتضمن إعادة جدولة الأنشطة ضمن قيود المشروع لضمان أن متطلبات الموارد في أي وقت معين لا تتجاوز السعة المتاحة.

**الاستنتاج:**
تسوية الموارد هي تقنية أساسية لمديري المشاريع الذين يسعون إلى تحسين استخدام الموارد وضمان تنفيذ المشروع بكفاءة وفعالية من حيث التكلفة. من خلال فهم العملية وتأثيرها المحتمل، يمكن لمديري المشاريع اتخاذ قرارات مستنيرة لتحقيق التوازن الصحيح بين توفر الموارد، وقيد الجدولة، ونجاح المشروع.

c) Potential project delays
4. What is the first step in the Resource Leveling process?
a) Reschedule activities b) Identify resource constraints c) Analyze resource allocation d) Monitor and adjust
b) Identify resource constraints
5. What is an important consideration when rescheduling activities during Resource Leveling?

Scenario:
You are managing a software development project with the following tasks:
You have a team of 5 developers available.
Problem:
The initial schedule has all tasks running concurrently, leading to a peak resource demand of 10 developers during the coding phase (Task B).
Task:
**1. Resource Overload:** The current schedule has a resource overload during Task B (Coding) as it requires 5 developers, while you only have 5 available. **2. Revised Schedule:** **Week 1:** Task A (3 developers) **Week 2:** Task A (3 developers), Task B (2 developers) **Week 3:** Task B (5 developers) **Week 4:** Task B (5 developers), Task C (2 developers) **Week 5:** Task C (2 developers), Task D (1 developer) **3. Reasoning:** * **Week 1-2:** Task A is started first, utilizing 3 developers. In week 2, Task B is initiated with 2 developers, to avoid exceeding the resource limit. * **Week 3-4:** Task B continues with the full 5 developers, ensuring efficient progress. Task C is started in Week 4 with 2 developers. * **Week 5:** Task C continues, and Task D is started with 1 developer. This revised schedule ensures that the resource demand never exceeds the available capacity while still maintaining a reasonable project flow.
