2. Compare and contrast two of the scheduling techniques discussed in Unit V. Make sure to identify when each scheduling technique is appropriate to use. Your response should be at least 200 words in length.
Unit VI -
1. Analyze and explain this idea: How does multitasking make it difficult to accurately resource-level a project? Your response should be at least 200 words in length.
2. When resource-leveling a project, a number of heuristics can help us prioritize those activities that should receive resources first. Explain how each of the following heuristics works and give an example:

b. Activities with the smallest duration
c. Activities with the lowest identification number
d. Activities with the most successor tasks
