Project Management Software Exam 2 Review
Cost Rate Table - : resource pay rates that are stored on the Costs tab of the Resource
Information dialog box
Under allocated - : the work assigned to a resource is less than the resource's
maximum capacity
Variable Consumption Rate - : the amount of the material resource consumed is
dependent upon the duration of the task
units - : the measurement of a resource's capacity to work
allocation - : the portion of a resource's capacity devoted to work on a specific task
fixed consumption rate - : an absolute quantity of material resources will be used, no
matter the duration of the task
over allocated - : a resource is assigned to do more work than can be done within the
normal capacity of the resource.
resource leveling - : the process of delaying or splitting a resource's work on a task to
resolve an over allocation
fully allocated - : the total work of a resource's task assignments is exactly equal to that
resource's work capacity
max. units - : the maximum capacity of a resource to accomplish work
Resource leveling cannot always resolve all resource over allocations. - : True
A resource cannot have both a cost per use and a cost derived from its pay rate. - :
False
Resource leveling never changes who is assigned to tasks, or the total work value of
those assignments. - : True
