Primavera P6 levels resources according to the following rules:

• Initially, resources are levelled within their normal limits by using up available total
float but maintaining the project duration
• If resources cannot be levelled within their normal limits, Primavera levels them within
their total limits while maintaining the project duration
• If Primavera P6 cannot level resources within their total limits, it will then extend the
project duration.
A ‘total limit’ of a resource is the maximum volume of that resource available for the execution
of the work.
