How It Works
How to Split a Group Project
Divide work evenly by tasks and estimated hours.
Formula
Tasks per Person = Total Tasks / Group Size
Hours per Person = Total Hours / Group Size
When tasks do not divide evenly, assign the extra tasks to volunteers or rotate them.
Worked Example
12 tasks, 4 group members, estimated 40 total hours.
total_tasks = 12group_size = 4total_hours = 40
- 01Tasks per person = 12 / 4 = 3 tasks each
- 02Hours per person = 40 / 4 = 10 hours each
- 03Work is evenly divisible, no extra tasks.
