2/17/10- 15/5's

Team Assigned Task: On Thursday (2/11) our team meet to discuss the Project Plan and the development of our instruction. We also had a conference call with our project client to clarify some of the project details and to discuss a schedule for visiting a Long John Silvers restaurant. I would say that this is 50% done because we still need to work out some scheduling issues and some issues dealing with the development of our project. Our team meet virtually on Sunday (2/14) to go through and complete our Project Plan. Our Project Plan is now 100% complete. On Monday (2/15) I spent 5 hours adding the Project Plan to our team website. The next day (2/16) I spent a couple more hours making some formatting changes to the Project Plan and adding our Gantt Chart to the webpage. Then on Wednesday (2/17) I added a new Gantt Chart to the team webpage, added a new team 15/5, and updated our team schedule page. I would say that the Project Plan page is now 100% complete and both the team 15/5 and team schedule are only 50% complete as they are updated weekly.

Reflection:

Remembering: This week I…

• Contributed to discussions on project delivery
• Contributed to discussions on scheduling a meeting to Long John Silvers
• Added information to our Project Plan
• Added our Project Plan to our team website
• Made various other updates to team website

Understanding:

Probably the most important thing about what I did this week was working with my team on finishing our Project Plan website. I had to rely on both members to get this website finished. I also received some great formatting advice from my team members. It taught me about the importance of seeing work from multiple perspectives.

Applying:

I can definitely use what I learned any time I work in a group setting. I think it is important to rely on and use the skills of other team members. I also have realized that just having multiple people see the project can help.

Evaluating:

I think I am continuing to do well. I did have one formatting issue this week that I really did not think was possible to fix, but with a little help from one of my team members I was able to get it figured out. I think with this particular formatting issue I was over thinking the problem. I think that I need to be aware of this issue in the future, so that I do not try to make a simile issue into a complex problem.

Creating:

Our next step is to work on meeting with some people from Long John Silvers to discuss the project. We then need to discuss how we will capture media for our unit and how we will develop the instruction.
