Objectives
Upon successful completion of the case study, students will be able to
    explain the differences between resource-constrained and resource-schedule,
    prepare charts with resources assigned and cost estimates, and
    determine financial risks associated with projects at the planning states.

Instructions
Refer to the details of the case and answer the case questions below:
1.    How can outsourcing project work alleviate the three most common problems associated with multiple resource scheduling?
2.    Explain the risk associated with leveling resources, compressing, or crashing projects and impose durations or catch-up as the project is being implemented.
3.    Prepare a short proposal for the Smiths that includes a Gantt chart with resources assigned, and cost estimates if the project starts on 8/1/16.
4.    Did resource limitations affect the final schedule? If so, how? What financial risks does this project face?
5.    What can the Smiths do to protect themselves against those risks?
Submission should be a maximum of 5 pages double-spaced (excluding title page and reference page), and should follow APA referencing style.
