 Currently one of the projects that Verizon wireless is undertaking  is changing the way the company deals with contracts and upgrades. In the new recently, Verizon announced that they will soon be offering a $15 a month data plan charge instead of it being $30. They regulate how much data a person uses. This is good for customers who use their data plans , but not all the time. The upgrade policy has also changed. According to Verizon wireless, any customer can change their phone as long as they have paid all their bills on time with Verizon, have not bought a new phone within 6 months, and your service plan is $40 or higher.  The tasks in the first part were,  first off thinking how to attract more data plans. At $30 a month many people who use data on their phones were not buying this add feature. But for $15 a month , Verizon is opening their customer base to even more people now. They then had to put restrictions on this $15 data plan.  A customer will be charged $15 as long as they do not go over a designated data amount.  Marketing was the easy part because most people. Whether is Verizon, AT&T , or whatever company they have, charge anywhere from  $25 to $30 for their data plans.  The tasks for the second project were very similar. Verizon wants everyone to have a smartphone for the simple fact that Verizon will make more money if they do. By changing the upgrade policy, people who have old phones will be more likely to buy a new and a smartphone.  The task were coming up with the idea, figuring out how to restrictions on this nee policy, making sure they would still turn a profit, advertising and marketing,.  Verizon, from what I found online, does not use the Gantt charts. Now I do think that the Gantt charts would help, because they have  a set amount of dates that certain projects have to be done by. If I was Verizon, I would use the Gantt chart because it seems like the easiest option to make sure their new ideas get out in time.
