1. According to Stein J. (2015), every team is going through various stages of its development. The most used framework was developed in the mid-1960s by Bruce W. Tuckman, now a psychology professor at Ohio State University (Stein J., 2015). He underlines four important stages of team’s development, such as, Forming, Storming, Norming and Performing.
Stage#1 Forming
In the group project, team members were excited about the idea to create an application for little kids. This idea was a really new one that inspired everyone in the team. Everyone has high expectations from this group project. Some questions regarding the development of the app and its future implementation have been discussed. It was no feeling of anxiety or uncertainty about …show more content…
3) By evaluating alternatives available and analyzing them in order to find which one will help in compressing the duration with lowest cost.
While allocating resources to critical activities, one needs to take into consideration the slack available in non-critical activities. This will help to make sure that crashing is not affecting the other activities of the project nor the project's scope.
4. Resource leveling allows project managers to balance resources over the course of a project and try to resolve conflicts between resources. Resource leveling tries to take the available resources and compare them to the demands of ongoing projects. Often, many projects or tasks will overlap, creating strain on resources, especially manpower. Resource leveling tries to take these competing demands and allocate resources effectively.
Overall, resource leveling helps a project manager decide whether or not he or she should quickly finish a project by using the maximum number of resources needed for that project. The alternative is to stretch out how long a project will take to ensure that enough resources are available to finish that project.
