Opportunity assessment on a tight deadline
Not what you're looking for?
Scenerio:
Your team is working on the opportunity assessment when you are notified there will be room on the agenda of the senior executive monthly meeting for you to present your results. There is great excitement about this assessment, and the senior executives do not want to wait. As you did not anticipate getting in front of them until late next month, this is great news. Next month's meeting is no longer an option for you because the agenda is being taken over by the results of an audit. Waiting two more months will not allow the company to take advantage of the current project's timelines. However, the meeting is early next week, and you are less than one-half complete with the assessment activities as you planned them.

- Without knowing how you divided up the hours in your project schedule, I would say that you have seven total resources to divide the additional 20 hours. That is roughly three additional hours per resource, which I perceive as being more than manageable to ask.
