In this step, students will learn about the importance of adding buffers to their activities. A buffer is an additional amount of time added to a project to account for the known and unknown risks. The project manager holds the combined buffers, and parses them out when needed. The team members add a buffer of a few days, while the project manager adds a buffer of 10 days. Finally, the management adds a 20% buffer to ensure the project finishes on time.
