Hmm... well it is against the rules, but if the marker is nice, u shouldn't be penalised for small things like that.

As I've said in another thread, I did my ENTIRE gantt chart in pencil, and also my "user interface" screen.

The lady came up to me and told me that it had to be in pen (black or blue).

I finally took a few minutes out to rub it all out and do it again in pen.

So that's what I did... I really don't think you'll lose marks, but if you do, then it's a lesson to read the instructions (we were allowed to use pencil in our trial exam for Context Diagrams, DFDs and system flow charts... so that's why I used pencil, but went over it in pen and rubbed out the pencil :))

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking... it's the procedure/rules.

Huy we were supposed to do diagrams like the gantt chart and user input screen in pencil as per the instructions on the front page.

Quote from the front of the paper "Draw diagrams using pencil"

anything drawn is a diagram, right

I did mine in pen also.. I didn't see them as diagrams, I saw them just as "table-like pictures" :p Oh well, I'll live.. as long as they don't take off full marks! (I can't afford to lose 6 marks)

This isn't good... 3 people with 9 weeks.
3+4+2+1 = 10

because the training of staff can happen at the same time as software installation and system testing. So I had 9 weeks Huy.

My gantt chart was in 9 weeks. Damn, probably wrong then :(
And I did it in pen, because I didn't have a pencil.

Task 5 had "This can occur at the same time as software installation and system testing", so I think the last two overlap, making it 9 weeks.
