to write anything down for these, as they will be graded out of SAP directly.

1. Your Instrumentation team is going to be short a man for the next 3 weeks. Address this
situation before accidentally overscheduling the crew.

2. It’s time to produce a schedule for next week. Build out the schedule.

ready to track.
