Resource Optimization: What's the Difference between Resource Leveling and Resource Smoothing?

[@Onlinepmcourses]

I confess I had to research this one... The distinction between resource leveling and resource smoothing is not one I was clear on. The message, however, is clear: resource optimization refers to both and is something to tackle, to make your project efficient.

I'm not sure I know a better way to explain this, so what is it you did not understand? If you can pin down what is not clear, I can try to respond to clarify it for you.

@@Onlinepmcourses . Thanks a lot for your response. this means a lot. in terms of the query, resource levelling was better understood but in terms of images for resource smoothing what is the yellow color that is above the resources. To be precise what happens to the extra resource that are added in the project ?

@@amar6705 In the resource smoothing diagram, the blue bars are the available resources applied to the plan. The hatched bars represent work reallocated to a time when resources can be available. The orange bars represent additional resources brought in to optimize capacity.
