Tracy is planning a charity benefit gala for her campaign. However, because one of her partners, Tail Man, has difficulty staying on task, the project is yet to start and they are running out of time. Tracy has used project management principles to lay out the task relationships and he finds that if they follow the traditional schedule, as outlined below, they will not have enough time to get everything done before the weekend of the gala. Tracy has created a list of tasks, their time requirements, their relationships, and their costs. She has also begun a network diagram but needs to know what to do next. She knows that he needs to reduce the total time by three weeks.
