The plan weighs a ton! 4. No, you are wrong, that was never part of the scope! It's clearly a scope expansion. Please read the complete article in the below mentioned link--------

Scheduling Packages A. Cant determine the best no. of the people to assign to activity to yield best results. B. Cant determine the skill level of resources needed to perform activities. C.

Another typical one way vision of HR. Most HR heads act as if man power acquisition is a one way affair where all rules and standards apply only to the job seekers. They look for super humans in every manager who can match HR’s quality parameters....
