Last updated :

What is Resource leveling?

Resource leveling shifts or spreads tasks or projects so that workload never exceeds available capacity, even if it extends the schedule.

Key points

It differs from resource smoothing, which adjusts workload without changing the project end date. Leveling may push deadlines out.
