Please take these as rough suggestions, unfiltered for panic-inducement, completeness, or grammar. It is not done, but I'm feeling pressure to get this out because I see some of these things getting touched upon in other posts, and I need to tend to other paying work. I figure better to finish the last 5% or 10% under your review than try to perfect it myself. I will amend as necessary or required. I've tried to kind of double-entry this as far as resources and timeline go.
if a name is listed, the task is/was assigned to that person. If a resource is listed, the person responsible is obvious or the task is up for grabs.
