Further Notes

• Remember some of the work, you will have to assign for homework. E.g. updating your project plan and project diary

• Rough Guideline: The finish date should lie between July 2009 and March 2010.

• There is no “correct” answer for the plan, just be sensible with your estimates- you will all work at different rates.
