Do the preparation task first. Then read the text and do the exercises.
Preparation
All right, so I've divided up the tasks among the three of us planning this event like this:
@Jen: make guest list, schedule social media announcements, arrange room set-up, organise musicians
@Ed: book catering, send out invitations, design posters, book speakers
@Mike: reserve rooms, design invitations, write and publish blog post, get emcee
But please don't feel like we need to stick to this. If you prefer to do something else, feel free to say so.
Yeah, I was thinking, as you are project leader @Mike, maybe it's best you make the guest list? I've got experience in graphic design so I'm happy to design the invitations.
@Jen, do you mind designing the posters too? I'm not very good at designing.
Sure, it'll be fun. If I take the poster design off you @Ed, do you think you can organise the musicians?
Absolutely, I know some really good musicians that do events like this one. And I also know a really good emcee. Do you want me to take over getting the emcee too?
@Ed I actually already have an emcee in mind, so I think I'll handle that. I'd appreciate it if you could write and publish the blog post about the event though.
That's not a problem. I quite enjoy online marketing tasks.
If that's the case @Ed, do you want to schedule the social media announcements too?
I can do that ... if someone books the speakers.
I'll book the speakers. And since I'm making the guest list, I should send out the invitations too. @Jen, are you still OK with arranging the room set-up?
Yes, let me do the room reservations as well.
Good idea. That would work nicely.
Hello plz help
Why number 4 in task 2 false ?
Hi Abdull3h_28,
Ed's task is to "book catering". That means he will organise another person or company to provide the food. He won't cook the food himself.

How are tasks usually divided in your project teams?
In my project team, I usually break the long task into small chunks and then make a proper schedule with the help of software like Trello. Everyone updates this software after completing the assigned task. Managing the task with the team is a good approach as it improves the management skills and the work throughput.
In my life in that kind of projects was no structure of tasks and plans, so every member does what he could. Usually one did a lot and another nothing, so such projects are always a mess.
I didn't organize any events for a long time, but when I did I was responsible for alcohol drinks:)
When I was working ; I actually didn't share the tasks with my team. I was doing everything, but now I share all my home duties with my hasbund
and kids.
In university, I often participated in group work with classmates to give presentations or do group homework. We will divide tasks based on each person's skills.
I often work with my team and I like that. Because when we work together we make a lot of effective tasks. My leader always dived tasks base on skill, experience and also knowledge of everyone in team.
we actually try to know every one what is it good at before dividing to each other i have worked with team and it went well
