Which consequence is NOT typically caused by resource leveling?

A loss of scheduling flexibility
Delay of the planned completion date
Reduced schedule risk
Reduced demand for overtime

The correct answer is: Reduced schedule risk

The consequence of reduced schedule risk is not typically attributed to resource leveling. Resource leveling aims to balance resource usage by adjusting the project schedule, which may lead to more stability in resource allocation. However, this does not inherently reduce the risks associated with the project schedule. Instead, resource leveling can lead to increased project duration, impacting scheduling flexibility and potentially causing delays to the planned completion date. While it may help minimize demands for overtime by spreading work more equitably over available resources, it primarily addresses resource availability rather than directly mitigating schedule risks. Thus, reduced schedule risk stands out as the consequence that is not typically a result of resource leveling.
