One Hat, Two Hats or Three…How many do you wear?

In these economic times we are asked to do so much more with the limited time we have. We now must wear many hats for one project: Project Manager, Business Analyst, Technical Writer, Designer, etc. All rolled into one person. How can we perform the activities associated with these roles more effectively?
