Aslam Work Blog Week 5
From a group perspective, this week started out slowly for our group but the communication and collaboration picked up a lot today. We started off by introduction and exchanging contact information through e-mail. I provided my group member with my cell number for future immediate contact. After going through the project description an analyzing the logistics of the group I suggested that we should pull our groups target date for deliverables by two days.
Today, I had detailed conversation with Alex over the phone. I provided my feedback on the Gantt chart he created earlier. We also decided that we shall figure out a way to effectively communicate and contribute to the group. After our conversation, we decided that I was going to re-do the Gantt chart while keeping the earlier one in perspective. I completely re-created the Gantt chart for our group. Alex and I discussed some logistics of the project over the phone. The major difference in this Gantt chart is that it is extremely detailed and gives a clear picture to everyone on what is expected of them from the group and by when they need to accomplish the goal. Also it is detailed further in the process hat we as a group shall go through in completing drafts for the project. Individual distribution is clearly indicated on the chart and the workload is very evenly divided among the group members.
This was a slow week with respect to the group work but I certainly expect things to pick up next week and more active participation from all group members
