You are a project coordinator at a large media company in Kitchener, Ontario, and you have been assigned the task of planning for five managers of your company to attend and present at an upcoming national convention. You have decided to use MS Project to help you keep track of all the tasks you will need to coordinate.

1. Create a new project file called MeetingPlan_YourFirst_Last_Name.
2. Set the project's Start date to May 17, 2023
3. Create a custom calendar called 'Meeting plan' and enter your availability. Because you have other duties on which you need to continue working, you can only devote 2 hours a day to this project Monday through Friday, from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.
4. You are on vacation June 26-30, 2023, so you need to set an exception titled Vacation.
