What can be determined by summing the project activities into an overall schedule?

• A. The total resource demand for a project at any given time
• B. The final budget
• C. The risk index
• D. The quality score

Answer: (A)

Aggregating all project activities into a single schedule shows resource demand over time. When you lay out each activity with its start date, duration, and required resources, you can add up the resources for all activities that happen at the same time. This reveals how much of each resource is needed at any moment, helps spot peak demand, and supports leveling or reallocation to avoid overloading the team or equipment. The schedule itself doesn’t directly set the final budget, determine a risk index, or provide a quality score—those come from cost planning, risk analysis, and quality management processes, respectively. So the total resource demand at any given time is what you get from summing activities into the schedule.
