Advanced Topics in Planning and Scheduling

Chapter 11. Advanced Topics in Planning and Scheduling: Agile and Critical ChainChapter 12. Resource ManagementInitial Postings: Read and reflect on the assigned readings for the week. Then post what you thought was the most important concept(s), method(s), term(s), and/or any other thing that you felt was worthy of your understanding in each assigned textbook chapter.Your initial post should be based upon the assigned reading for the week, so the textbook should be a source listed in your reference section and cited within the body of the text. Other sources are not required but feel free to use them if they aid in your discussion.Also, provide a graduate-level response to each of the following questions:

1. What are the practical implications internally (in terms of team motivation) and externally (for the customer) of making overly optimistic project delivery promises?
2. It has been argued that a project schedule that has not been resource-leveled is useless.  Do you agree or disagree with this statement?  Why or why not?
