A. Project Snapshot This plan relaunches the Greenleaf Bakery website with a new design, fresh product photos, and an online pre-order form so customers can order cakes without calling. The 9 tasks take 21 working days, from Monday, November 2, 2026 to Wednesday, December 2, 2026, which is 7 working days before the deadline of Friday, December 11, 2026. The critical tasks are T1, T2, T5, T7, T8, and T9, so the copy and the page build set the pace, and the main risk is price approvals slowing the page copy, which has no slack. B.

Critical Path Critical tasks: T1, T2, T5, T7, T8, T9 A one-day slip on any critical task moves the finish to Thursday, December 3, 2026. D.

Owner Load | Owner | Tasks | Task days | Critical tasks | |---|---|---|---| | Maya | T1, T2, T8 | 11 | 3 | | Jon | T3, T7, T9 | 6 | 2 | | Priya | T4, T5, T6 | 15 | 1 | Overlap: Priya has T5 and T6 from Thu Nov 12 to Fri Nov 13. F. Risk Watchlist 1. Page copy may take longer because the owner must approve every price. Tasks: T2 slack 0 critical. Watch for: Maya has fewer than half the pages drafted by the end of Week 1. Fallback: Ask Elena to approve prices in one sitting and publish pages with placeholder text for any price still open, adding it before the owner review. 2. The pre-order form tool may need a paid plan. Tasks: T6 slack 7. Watch for: The free plan of the form tool blocks payments or caps orders in a test. Fallback: Use the site builder's built-in contact form for orders at launch and move to a paid tool later; this task has 7 days of slack. 3. The storefront photos need a dry day. Tasks: T3 slack 10. Watch for: The forecast shows rain for every day of Week 1. Fallback: Shoot the products indoors first and take the storefront picture on the first dry day; the photos have 10 days of slack. G. Status Update Template Subject: Greenleaf website - week 1 update Hi Elena, Done this week: T1 Agree site goals and sitemap.
