Planning Our Project

One of the biggest challenges within this project will be project management. We have established that with a team of four people it may be difficult to both organise the project and present clearly defined roles at the end of the project. To combatt these issues we have decided to use some tools to help us keep track of where we are wih regards to the work we have done and the work that we will need to do.Gantt Chart

Gantt Chart

The gantt chart was created to help us visualize the progression of the project as a whole. It contains all the main tasks we envision ourselves doing, their progression, and who is responsale for said tasks. The advantage of the Gannt Chart is that it visualizes not only the tasks we have to complete but also the timeline within which they have to be completed. We will mainly use this at weekly meetings as a check in.

Trello

We will be using trello to keep track of the project on a day to day basis. Not unlike the Gantt Chart, trello is fundamentally a list of tasks broken down into sprints however, it’s more fluid and user friendly. We will be using trello to keep track of not only our own personal tasks but also the group tasks. It will be somewhat of an organisation tool and a communication tool for when we are working remotely on the project.

Personal Methods

Alongside the planning we will do as a group it is also important to keep track of everything we are doing personally to ensure we stay on track overall. Personally I will be using my Personal Trello Board to stay on top of my workload, as well as a diary for important dates, notes and information.
