Step-by-step explanation:
There are three important aspect in Project management.
1. Scope of the project
2. Time allotted
3. Cost involved
I would add one more important aspect as "resource involved". That is also crucial for project management.
Since in the given situation, I would complete on time by using the below pointers:
- I would calculate the amount of time that will be spent by the eliminated members and divide that in such a way that it is allotted to other 8 members.
- Similar way I would split the work and re-arrange the responsibilities such that it meets the deadline
- Also to motivate the team members, I would assure them to have project incentives because of taking additional responsibilities upon considering the success of the project.
