The project manager used an optimistic term of 4 months, a pessimistic term of 6 months, and a most expected term of 5 months, and has concluded that the service can be delivered with the following resources:

- Two engineers (monthly salary of US$700 each)

- One project manager (monthly salary of US$1,600)

- Additional estimated monthly expenses of US$2,000
