Explanation
A resource leveling heuristic is a rule or constraint applied to manage resource allocation - such as capping the hours a resource can contribute to a program within a given time period. In this case, management's 20-hour-per-week cap is exactly such a heuristic, used to balance program demands against operational needs. Resource requirements refer to the types and quantities of resources needed. Resource utilization describes how efficiently resources are being used. Program risk is unrelated to this scheduling/allocation concept.
