What is typically an outcome of resource leveling?

Decreased project duration
Increased project duration
Unchanged project scope
Reduced project scope

The correct answer is: Increased project duration

Resource leveling is the process of adjusting the project schedule to balance the demand for resources. This is done to ensure that resources are not over-allocated and that the project can be completed within the given constraints. As a result, the most common outcome of resource leveling is an increased project duration. This is because resources may need to be shared or delayed in order to prevent conflicts or bottlenecks. Options A and D, decreased and reduced project duration, respectively, are therefore incorrect as they are the opposite of the expected outcome. Option C, unchanged project scope, is also incorrect as resource leveling directly impacts the project schedule and therefore the project scope may need to be adjusted in order to accommodate any changes made during the resource leveling process.
