However, scheduling constraints dictate that the staff needed in this project are expected to deliver at time. Requirements and technical design, implementation and testing phases will take a maximum of a few weeks each, shortest being only three days. A big emphasis on documentation demands some time from implementation, but that will be considered in scheduling.
The overall working time spent by the core group in this project is expected to be three man-months, that being near the artificial milestone of 500 hours. Amount of time spent on each task is described in section 3.2.1.
