What do you think about adding slack to individual task estimates? If you were asked to add a project buffer for the entire project, what would be your response to your manager? Explain your reasoning. What would be one ethical issue when imposing slack and/or project buffering/slack?
Explore the concept of "resilience engineering" in project management. How can projects be designed and executed to withstand unexpected disruptions and recover quickly?
I would appreciate it if you could provide an example of a project that you would manage using either the Spiral Model or the V Model, as well as a short description of the nature of the project and an explanation as to why you choose that particular management style.
