Project Management **Assumption: You have 90 products in your backlog, and you estimate it will be a 10 week installation process per product (including client time). (1a) Assume you only have 1 full time employee dedicated to launching products. If you start launching April 1st, how long does it take to clear your backlog? (1b) If you have 2 full time employees, how long will it take to clear your backlog? (1c) If the Sales team sells an additional 5 products in May, 8 in June, 8 in July, 10 in August & September, and 12 in each month in Q4, build a forecasting model for the total launches per month and the backlog growth each month. (Assuming you have 2 full time employees) (1d) Assuming no restrictions in thinking, what ideas might you come up with to clear out the backlog sooner?
