• Group tasks into logical work packages based on access requirements, manpower, and tooling.
• Identify tasks requiring special procedures (e.g., NDT, corrosion inspections).
• Include an estimated man-hours and required skill levels. (Including buffer)
• Suggest which tasks if they had non-routine findings could impact the planned TAT and CRS date.
