1. Project Planning, 2. Customer Support, 3. Finish Report, 4. Project Updates, 5. Client Call *
Explanation
For tasks scheduling, we primarily consider the hour duration and specified order of each task. After the time allocated to each task has been detailed, we start setting the sequence of activities based upon the conditions provided. 1. The task titled 'Client Call' and 'Project Updates' can occur after 3:00 pm as that is when the notes for it will be received.2. The tasks related to the completion of the 'Finish Report' must be scheduled after 'Customer Support' is finished. 3. The 'Project Updates' cannot be the last task. Given all of these requirements, an example of a plausible schedule could looks like this. Starting point: 10 AM. 1. We first handle the longer 'Project Planning' for roughly 15 hours as its scheduling doesn't seem to have restrictions. Considering a quiet unrealistic typical working hours of the day (07:00 to 19:00 - 12 hour), the 'Project Planning' may stretch onto the following day. That leaves us with 8 hrs remaining in the first day. 2. The next task could be 'Customer Support' - Fills about half an hour. Leaving 7.5 hrs for the day one.3. Subsequent task could then be 'Finish Report', taking 1.5 hour. This leaves with 6 hours until end of day one. 4. At this point, the notes for 'Project Updates' and 'Client Call' have been received (since we arrived at this step after 3 p.m.). That lets us wisley select he next task.5. You can then finish off the remaining time for the day with 'Project Updates'. 6. The 'Client Call' lasts half an hour, which ends up being the final task. With this sequence, all of the guidelines have been obeyed. Exceptions to this schedule exist, and it may have to be reconsidered with posting working hours. For instance, 'Project Planning''s large time need suggests that it might have to be broken up amidst multiple tasks.
