Allocation of Personnel to Tasks

Bread Crumbs: Home - Proj Plan - Allo Pers

Once a project has been discretized into distinct units of work or tasks, then team members must be assigned to the tasks in such a way that each task has the required number of person-hours allocated to the task in order to meet the schedule demands of the project.

The following tables assign team members to the tasks that must be performed for the example Microwave Oven System Project. The first table focuses on tasks that are performed prior to entering the testing phase. The second table focuses on tasks that are performed during the testing phase.
