Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓

Resource-driven duration allows the simulation to reflect how resource availability constraints directly affect task duration during each iteration.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Set all task priorities to 'High'.
Why it's wrong here
Priority does not address calendar constraints.
- ✓
Enable 'Resource Calendars' in the simulation settings.
Why this is correct
Resource calendars are the mechanism for modeling unavailability.
- ✗
Disable the 'Critical Path Method' (CPM) engine.
Why it's wrong here
CPM is required to calculate the project finish date.
- ✗
Increase the 'Buffer' duration.
Why it's wrong here
Buffers are passive; resource calendars are active constraints.
