Resource Assignment in Multiple Projects

C.

The scenario described in the question where a resource is assigned to two projects with two scheduled tasks that complete at the same time is an example of interproject resource contention.

Interproject resource contention occurs when a resource is assigned to multiple projects, and the demand for that resource exceeds its availability. This can lead to conflicts and delays in the completion of tasks and projects.

In the given scenario, the resource is shared between two projects, and both projects require the resource at the same time. This creates a conflict and results in interproject resource contention.

The other answer choices are as follows:

• Shared resource contention: This occurs when multiple tasks within the same project require the same resource simultaneously.
• Intraproject resource contention: This occurs when resources are competing for within the same project, and demand exceeds supply.
• Dedicated resource contention: This occurs when a resource is allocated to a single task or project, and is not available for any other task or project.

In conclusion, the correct answer to the given question is C. Interproject resource contention.
