#10 - Weekends are contigency time.
Weekends are for recovery, rest, and relaxation. If you don't plan in contigency time for the project up front then people may have to work weekends when the schedule slips. If this happens too often the team can get burned out and more than likely cause the project to slip further behind. There are two ways to build in contigency time. One is to build a resrve bucket of hours that is some percentage of the overall project effort in hours. The other is to add in placeholder tasks that have durations of 1 or more days. Check out the tip of the week starting 8/7 at http://bit.ly/ciyf0W for more thoughts on this item.
