Annual Report Work Schedule

Here is the work schedule for the OHP report that me and Francesca Davies worked up together so that we both knew what was expected from each other and also to keep us on track with where we should be in terms of dates and production. This is a good idea as it keeps a clear guideline to where a bout's we should be during certain times of the process so that the report is finalized and finished on time for the client so it can be sent to print. The green text is there to show areas that Fran added to the work schedule to show her role in helping the production of the process run on time and efficiently.
