Assigning team members to task roles is a delicate and critical task. When done correctly, the team members will be excited about their role on the project, feel confident they can successfully complete the tasks assigned, and know they will have some conquerable challenges as they move through the project. 
To effectively assign tasks to people (and people to tasks), the project manager must perform the following: 

Identify the      roles needing to be filled. 
Determine      the skills required for each role. 
Determine      the skill sets of the team members. 
Assign      team members to roles. 

The objective for this assignment is to effectively select your team from the following people:

Pat is      available for 24 hours a week at $115 per hour. Pat was involved in      several upgrade projects for this package and can act as business analyst,      developer, or tester. Pat is very comfortable with the legacy system and      does not see the benefit of moving to the Web-based version. He feels that      the end users do not fully utilize the functionality they already have and      will not use this new functionality effectively. 
Terry is      available for 24 hours a week at $100 per hour. Terry was involved in the      original installation and every upgrade since then. She tends to be in      developer or tester roles for this system but acts as business analyst for      other systems. She is very excited about the Web-based package and the      functionality it provides. She is concerned, however, that the end users      do not have the computer savvy to use it. 
Robin is available      for 30 hours per week at $100 per hour. She was involved in the last two      upgrades as a business analyst and has been trying to become involved in      other systems and business areas. She was actively involved in the      development of a custom Web-based application as a programmer. This was      considered a skills development opportunity because her Web programming      skills are not strong. 
Chris is      available for 24 hours per week at $80 per hour. He is new to the IT      department; he was previously a customer service representative. He just      completed his undergraduate degree in computer science and has experience      with Web programming and software testing techniques. 
Jan is      available for 16 hours per week at $115 per hour. Jan is also new to the      IT department. She was previously a consultant and was on process      reengineering projects, including several for billing functions. She      previously worked with the Web version product of the vendor’s competitor.
