Summary

The first couple of weeks consist of the proposal pitch and acquiring a group of participants. The project manager’s task during this stage is to pitch and assign roles to the new participants based on their strengths and the comfortability of each member. We will be using AirTable to delegate tasks and keep deadlines. No one is to be assigned a role or task requiring learning a new skill or software that may add additional time to this project. During this time, the new participants will provide any further input for the project that will be considered and documented if anything is to be added or altered. Lastly, the last step during the first couple of weeks is to establish a standard method of communication for contact and opening Google Drive that everyone in the project has access to and provide any information/documents that will be crucial to the project. 

The project manager will serve as a floater for the project. It will be necessary to assist all members when they require assistance and to lessen the workload. All members should refer to the Timeline for details and requirements for those dates and phases. The project manager can elaborate on any specific information and, at any time, is welcome to add or change any task they feel is cumbersome to their assigned role. The role of front end and back end have also decided to split the data visualizations and mapping creation, in which the project manager has extracted and provided two separate files of Excel data that will be available for both members to decide the data visuals they will create. Please remember that any due dates and assignments for the class are not listed in this Timeline. It is for group project management only, so we all know where we should be and if there is any work you will need to catch up on. Don’t hesitate to contact the group or project manager for any days you may miss. Please also refer to the Notes doc on Google Drive for any information. 

Lastly, for reference purposes, the initials in parenthesis refer to the name of team members and depict what each task/assignment is due in that phase.

 

PS: I have invited the professor to our AirTable. We are using AirTable, and although this Workplan has bi-tri weekly timelines, through AirTable, I am personally setting weekly tasks and deadlines to accommodate my team and their schedules as well.
