What did I do?

I met with my group to discuss project updates, communications with the client, and what steps are next. I went over all aspects of the website to make sure they are still up to date.  I worked on fixing some issues with subpages.  I uploaded our signed Analysis Report.

What was important about it?

Keeping the website up to date will help team members, classmates, and our client have access to the most recent and accurate information.

Where could I use this again?

The website will continue to be an important tool throughout our project.

Do I see any patterns in what I did?

Keeping up with the website requires constant updating and modifications.  Every week I have gone over the site to make sure everything is accurate and up to date.

How well did I do?

I am still trying to figure out the way some things work with Google Sites and I had a little trouble getting things uploaded this week.  However, I learned from my struggles and will continue to use the skills I am learning.

What should I do next?
I will be working with Micah as we move forward in prototype development.

What did I do?

I met with my group to discuss project updates, communications with the client, and what steps are next. I collaborated with Lead Evaluator of the other Terminix Team.  I worked extensively on and completed the Analysis Report. I updated the team website-added pages and embedded the WBS and Analysis Report.

What was important about it?

I completed the Analysis Report which will be helpful in moving forward with the remainder of the project.  I uploaded new documents to the website to help keep things organized and available to the client and team.

Where could I use this again?

The Analysis Report will be useful in determining the scope of the Instructional Design process as we move forward.  The website will continue to be a valuable tool for our team and client to see all of our pertinent information.

Do I see any patterns in what I did?

I have been consistent in my communication with my project manager and other team members. 

How well did I do?

I did well in taking initiative in completing the current steps of the project.  I believe I did well communicating with my team members and keeping them informed. 

What should I do next?
The next step will be assisting my PM in the completion of the Project Plan and working with the other team members as we move forward with the design of our eLearning unit.

What did I do?

I met with my group twice to discuss project updates, communications with the client, and what steps are next. Made edits to the project charter. Began working on the analysis report. Read weekly readings. Updated the team website-added pages and embedded the project charter. 

What was important about it?

I spent a lot of time communicating with fellow classmates which helped with planning next steps. Updated the team website to meet the requirements for the week. 

Where could I use this again?

Communication is of primary importance in this project and the connections I am building will be invaluable for the remainder of the project. I added pages to the website to facilitate the addition of upcoming documentation. 

Do I see any patterns in what I did?

I have been consistent in my communication with my project manager and other team members. 


How well did I do?

Reflection:

What did I do?

I assisted with the completion of the Project Charter and set-up the templates for the Project Plan and Analysis Report.  I almost made updates to the team site.

What was important about it?

I started the ball rolling on the next steps of the project.  This will provide the team with a place to start for upcoming documentation

Where could I use this again?

The documents I started will be used consistently for the next few weeks while we finalize out documents.

Do I see any patterns in what I did?

I like to get things started because I find I have the most trouble getting started on projects.  Once something is started it is much easier to work on it.  Because of that, I decided to start a template for the documents (something I have regularly done so far in this project) because it provides the motivation I need to get started.

How well did I do?

I did well in taking initiative to get things started.  In the future I need to be more proactive in starting my assignments closer to the beginning of the week.

What should I do next?

The next step will be working with my team to develop the project plan and working with the Lead ID to get the Analysis Report completed.
