You are a project manager who uses Microsoft Project 2013. A resource manager notifies you that
your assigned resource is now only available 50% to work on the communication plan task. The
estimated amount of work for the task remains the same at 16 hours. The task must also be
completed within the original two-day commitment even though the resource is only available 50%
of the time. You need to bring on another resource to assist with the remaining 50% of the work
while ensuring that the same amount of work gets done in the two days that were originally
committed. Which three actions should you perform in sequence? (To answer, move the appropriate
three actions from the list of actions to the answer area and arrange them in the correct order.)

path. After assigning Resource2 to the task, you notice that Resource1 is over allocated during the
month of November. Project A, which is on critical path, takes priority over Project B, which
Resource1 is also assigned to. Using resource leveling in Project Professional 2013, you need to
