Resource leveling aims to decrease peaks and valleys in resource usage over the course of the project, making resource usage as consistent as possible to minimize overallocation while keeping the project schedule within the required completion time. This means resources are assigned to tasks in a way that does not overload them, avoiding periods where they are assigned to multiple tasks at once or periods where they are not assigned to anything. However, it does not necessarily mean an equal number of resources will be assigned to each task, that an equal number of tasks will be completed each day, or that costs for the resources will be even across the project.
