Assign Project Tasks

You now have an idea of what skills are required, how long each phase will take, and what resources you have for the project. Now you should assign tasks to the relevant individuals. You will see from the project flowchart that some phases can be worked on at the same time. If you have enough resources, you can assign them to the various phases, and multi-task the project.

Example

Assume that you have been assigned one operations person, and two people from the distribution staff. After Phase 2, "Designing the Recipient Tree," you could assign the operations person to "Handling MSGCLASS Output" (Phase 7) while the distribution staff set up the Decollating Missions (Phase 3).

Recommendation

BMC recommend that you be aware of what is involved in each phase of the project so that you can direct operations. It is your responsibility to set up standards for implementation, and to ensure that these standards are followed. You will constantly review all work carried out on the project to ensure that each phase is being implemented according to your directions.
