Your Executive Management Team has set a
target of 15 weeks. You can set your own
personal target as a project manager. This
target can only be set in the first week of the
project.
TEXT IMPROVEMENT
You can allow or disallow overtime every week
based on your timelines. Allowing overtime
would increase completion rate but would incur
higher cost and increase stress. Make your
choice here
TEXT IMPROVEMENT
Meetings help in reducing the possibility of
creation of bugs as well as reduce the stress for
the team members. Set the frequency of your
one on one meetings as well as team meetings
in this section
Once you have made the decisions, remember to click the submit
button. If the decisions are not submitted here, you would not be
able to proceed to the next week.

11. Spacing can be adjusted with more width given
to the first column . Instead of Working we can
have IN PROGRESS Status should have the
first letter capitalized. Can be shown using the
activity chart with different colour codes as
NOT STARTED, IN PROGRESS and
COMPLETED. This can be done once we
have a dynamically updating activity chart

12. We can rethink this section since it does not
provide substantial information for the user
