I know this is late, but there is more credit in posting late than not at all. This week, the main part that I did was create the gantt chart for the website. I created the chart by laying out all the jobs, and trying to determine the amount of time that would be needed for each thing. On Monday, I help the organization and coordination team by creating a sheet that the groups fill out each week, By having the groups do this, we are able to determine how each group is doing each week. This allows us to decide if we need to adjust the gantt chart, or if they are right on pace.

This week has been a little confusing for me. There has been a lot going on and a lot of hashing back and forth. I have no background in web design so much of my task this week has been asking questions to help better understand what each item means in the Gantt chart and how much time and effort some of these tasks take. This week I created a class group on gmail with Stephanie so that our group could easily distribute documents. I also helped created the deadline doc with Stephanie. Today, each of us visited each of the groups and asked about the project.

Our classroom project has gotten to a slow but sure start this week. Since my team hadn’t already set up the procedure for governing progress on the site, it was generally freely-run by the individual teams for the first few days. Still, by the end of the week our group had determined what duties we were responsible for and became far more effective in our leadership, and I believe this trend will continue in the upcoming weeks as we become more comfortable with our tasks.

For the first week of the project it was a little confusing for our team. We weren't quite sure what all we needed to do. We started off sending out documents to everybody. We made documents so any of the teams could post questions for the client if needed. We also had each team list all their tasks within their teams and how long each would take. After getting the feedback from the teams we took that information and put it into a gantt chart. We color coordinated each team to make it easy to follow.
