• Implementation

• Follow-up

You reviewed a Gantt Chart created by one of your platoon leaders. The chart showed the four stages of project management, the activities in sequence, and the time estimated for steps didn't overlap. It also included a plan for monitoring resources. What should you have the platoon leader review to make sure? Why?

• The plan for resources; this isn't necessary when a Gantt Chart is used

• The stages of project management; there are five stages

• The sequence of activities; sequence is not necessary if all activities are listed

• The time estimated for steps; the estimates could possibly overlap
