The project management office or project office (PMO) is concerned that the MobileGo project is behind schedule and in danger of being late. Assume that a project meeting has been scheduled so that you and your project team can propose a course of action to reduce the project schedule.

To prepare for this PMO meeting, carry out the following:

1. Analyze the data provided in the spreadsheet and calculate at least two options for crashing the schedule.
2. Identify likely risks associated with your revised schedule as well as your strategy for their mitigation.
3. Evaluate concerns associated with the motivation of the team given the increase in project complexity, the additional overtime, and the high-pressure environment that the team is likely to face.
4. Explain the steps you will take as project manager to hold the team together and keep it functioning despite the difficulty.
