Requiring all project resources to work overtime will not reduce work overloads, but may even exacerbate them by increasing fatigue and burnout among workers. It is not a viable solution for reducing workloads. The other three options (splitting activities, reordering activities, and reassigning activities) are effective ways of reducing workload and redistributing work more evenly among project resources.
