Review project management P10
Successful and Unsuccessful process of project management:
There was a lot of deadline that we met which is good since
that’s what the point of a project plan is. Starting at the beginning of the
year with the decision making of who is doing what, then we had to design the
wire frames and 5 page where set the deadline on the project a week of advanced
of the deadline this way we can have more time to effectively criticise our
work between each other. Yet however the people in my team took far too long to
complete these tasks making the project plan to suffer a little bit by moving
the deadline to the normal time it was meant to be completed by, instead as the
project plan suggested a week in advanced, this way we have more time to evaluate
the work. Because I completed my work as
the project plan suggested but my team member didn’t this meant and a decision
was made to complete other projects will need to be done instead of the one actually
needed. At that point exactly that was done while waiting for the work to be completed
by my team members I was doing other work for other projects.
When the work was completed we choose both of my sitemap and
wireframes designs to be our final designs. My team members work yet it was submitted
late it was rushed due to not planning them self what was needed to be done
when needed to be done.
The next stage was to make the wireframe designs in iPlotz and
the site map in Microsoft Visio at that point everyone in the team including me
done the task on time and within the project plan time limit, this was good as
now we are starting to stick to the project plan a little bit better as the
first time experience wasn’t that great.
After creating our final designs on our advanced software
package we had to evaluate it, this was done also in time.
Final comparison between the wireframes was also done on
time.
The training was the part that delayed us the most due to
strike action taken from the college, this meant that all the dead line needed
shifting backwards. There was nothing else to do but move the deadline
backwards. As we were getting training and everything was going to plan,
another set of delays occurred as coming from the Easter half term break there
was no one to teach us due to the teacher having a doctor’s appointment. This was the lessons where he needed to teach
us how to do 2 and 3 column way out in order to create the website as planned. During
that lesson the teacher was absent we started creating the top navigation bar
as well as the footer.
After the training we go on with actually creating the
website, the ideal was to do all the pages as quickly as possible, so we did. We linked everything together and showed the
presentation to our client. At that stage he said that impotents need to be
made in order for the projects to be successful and meet all the requirements, we
are now at the stage of where everything is adjusted in order to meet these
points and complete the project.
Monitoring what was happening with my team was a fairly hard
task as Remy only had a email address which
I can only write to, as Abduls monitoring was done a little bit easier as he
had a mobile phone which I can call to. When it comes to communication the
telephone is the best way as I found out this way I always knew at what stage Abdul
is, unlike Remy which took a bit of time to find out exactly what is going on.
