The schedule enabled the group to get tasks done in a timely manner and helped the team to reach the goals set by the client. Some activities were scheduled to run concurrently and the group was split into pairs in order to complete each activity. For example, two members performed Cost Analysis while the other two researched different Plastics. Concurrent activities were necessary to make allowances for other activities that would be more time consuming or were reliant on two or more previous tasks. The schedule is shown below.
