You are a project scheduling manager, working for PriaTel Consulting. PriaTel Consulting has been contracted by PASK Technologies to provide Telephone Technical Support as well as a Customer Support Manual, following the launch of the new PASK SnowDetecto2000 product line in March 2021. The length of the contract is 8 weeks, after which it may be renewed. The SnowDetecto2000 is a snow detecting device which sends signals to a customer's cell phone via home internet to alert the customer as to when snow must be shoveled. Snow levels display in the downloaded mobile software application. The product is set to launch in March 2021, as the company believes that this will be a particularly heavy snowfall season in Ottawa and is hoping this will be a popular holiday gift. The contract awarded to PriaTel Consulting has a start date of March 1, 2020. The first deliverable in the contract is for a Customer Support Guide and Manual. This manual will be produced in the Ottawa office of PriaTel, written by Robin, the company's technical writer. The Manual will take 1 week to produce, at a cost of $5000.00. This manual must be available to all Customer Support staff in order
