So now we have our task list and it's time to assign team members to each task.

Who is best fitted by skill, experience and personality to implement each task.

Well, me, I'm just a smiley face on your computer - non-mobile. So you can use me for overall Project Management (which is what I'm already doing) and research.

Your spouse is the one with all the professional friends (called "networking" in the Project Management business) so we'll assign most of those tasks involving "resources" (that word again - we'll get to that next, promise!) to her. Keeping track of spending is your department. The rest we'll assign between the three of us as appropriate.

So we have:

Your spouse dealing with the lawyer we have to have for legal issues and possible conveyancing; the vet; the architect; interviewing and recruiting contract builders

You: Budgeting; overseeing contract builders; liaising with zoo; recruiting staff; organising party.

Me: Overall Project Management and research.
