The estimated amount of time to complete:

• No real tech skills are required
• 30-45 minutes depending on your internet connection speed (Note: only about 10-minutes of your actual time is required, many organizations kick this off before they leave for the evening and, in the morning, complete the tasks)
• Also, NOTE you could be doing multiple computers at the same time
