A project manager is developing a schedule for a project that involves a team in a country with a national holiday during the project. The holiday is a non-working day for the team. How should this be reflected in the schedule model?

Add a lag to all activities that occur during the holiday.

Ignore the holiday because it is only one day.

Add a constraint to all activities to avoid the holiday.

Decompose the work package into activities such as design, review, and production, and define a milestone for approval.

Assign the work package to a team and let them decide the activities later.
