15. Now you have an over allocation situation. Pam will now be responsible for task 3
(Identify needed skills).
16. Task 12 (Secure Lab Space) will be done by William and Lu. By assigning 2 people,
you are hoping to get this done in half the time. Assign William first. Then assign Lu.

completion date, you (salaried employee-therefore no cost) decide to help out. You
will do this by helping out William only for those tasks that he is working alone.
Make sure to change the tasks to be effort driven.
24. Add a 2 hour weekly meeting first thing in the morning on every Wednesday
throughout the entire project. Add it at the end and name “Weekly Meeting”.
