Question 1
Three project teams are working on multiple projects across four phases and four months. Each phase must be completed before the next begins.
Given information:
• Project Alpha: Planning phase by Team 1 in January, Development by Team 1 in February
• Project Alpha: Testing phase in March, Deployment in April
• Team 2 handles Testing and Deployment phases of Project Alpha
• Project Beta: Planning in January by Team 2, Development in February
• Team 3 handles Development and Testing of Project Beta
• Project Beta Deployment is in April by Team 1
Which team handles the Testing phase of Project Beta?
Step-by-step Solution:
Layer 1: Project-Phase Matrix
Four phases for each project must occur sequentially.
Layer 2: Team Assignment
Project Alpha Timeline:
- Planning: Team 1 (January)
- Development: Team 1 (February)
- Testing: Team 2 (March)
- Deployment: Team 2 (April)
Project Beta Timeline:
- Planning: Team 2 (January)
- Development: Team 3 (February)
- Testing: Team 3 (March)
- Deployment: Team 1 (April)
Layer 3: Temporal Sequencing
Each project follows strict phase order: Planning → Development → Testing → Deployment
Cross-Layer Integration:
Project Beta Testing phase is handled by Team 3 (given in clues that Team 3 handles both Development and Testing of Project Beta).
Answer: Team 3
