Part 2 - Resource Management
Resource Assignments
Our resource assignments are achieved by the collaborative efforts of teamwork. We assigned 50 people to the project which is more than enough to help achieve our intended goals and the start and finish times of our scheduled project activities. The team avoided resource overload by setting up a project schedule that was realistic as part of effective project plan. Each team member was held accountable for tasks appropriately assigned; checking in to assure there were opportunities to share progress or ideas with the team.
Project staff assignment documentation – includes names of project team members, memos to team members, and a project team directory.
The Project Schedule – The project schedule includes start and finish dates for project activities, assignments and timing for specific leaders, workers, or other project resources.

There was no discussion or conversation prior to Hale’s violent statements, he literally walked in and announced he wanted to kill people that day. While Schemer understands current policy forbids clandestine recording of co-workers, she felt it necessary to record his statements due to their violent nature, therefore she hit the record button on her iPhone.

The third team did not meet and start to work together until four or five weeks before the project’s due date. I am not sure if the selection process of this team was well planned. We (the facilitation team) had a discussion about let two or three individuals joining our team for the final project. We had no knowledge based trust about most of our classmates, so it was hard to decide whom should we select. Our only criterion was not having a social loafer in our new team and the only information we had about our classmates is their performance in the online discussion.
