1. Jesse wants me to investigate GanttProject software to determine whether it would be

suitable for SCR. She asked me to prepare a summary of pros and cons, and a sample of

screen shots and information.

2. Jesse likes the idea of using task completion estimates with best-case, probable-case, and

worst-case estimates. She said that I should use typical formulas and weight values to

create a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet that would make it easier to calculate expected task

durations.

3. To practice my skills, Jesse asked me to create an imaginary project with at least 12 tasks,

which include dependent, multiple predecessor, and multiple successor tasks. She wants

me to create a list showing the tasks and dependencies, and patterns. She also needs to

know the duration, start, and finish for each task. She said to use my best guess regarding

duration, and we could adjust it later.

4. Jesse wants me to prepare a brief handout for the other team members with some dos

and donts regarding project management. She wants me to include at least image. She

suggested either a screenshot or a drawing that would show some aspect of project

planning.
