                    Assignment 3
   Due tonight
    The students need to provide at a minimum the start and completion 
     date, duration, and effort (in staff-hours).
    There should also be a summary for management. This might include a 
     breakdown of estimates by phase and/or resource (personnel). Give 
     enough information that an executive would not need to look at the 
     Project file to get a good idea of the project.
    Important points to note:
       Holidays need to be accounted for.
       Phases need to start on a new day.
       Activities are all sequential (Finish to start)
