      Using the setup table, select the project type from the drop-down. Use the examples table to the right.

      Determine Effort for Each Required Role
      In the Effort table, use the drop-down for each row where the flag is either a check mark (indicating the resource is required) or an exclamation point (indicating the resource requirements are at management discretion). Effort is either High, Med, or Low.
      Determine Tier Status of this project
      Based on the number of resources, effort by each resource, and the cumulative effort by the team, determine if the project is a Tier 3, 2, or 1 project.
