Weekly Journal 9/26
So far, our group has stayed on top of each assignment and its respective due date. We have successfully distributed a work breakdown structure for each assignment through email. However, there is always room for improvement. Specifically, I believe our group needs to find a more efficient way to plan how assignments will be completed, and when they will be completed. While we keep our emails all within one thread, there is a lag in each member’s response. It is easy to hope that any of the other members will answer whatever question is proposed in the email because we have such a large group of project managers. As for my individual contributions this week, I began to put together a project schedule, but found that my efforts were ultimately ineffective because I did not discuss it with anyone. It is easy to postpone doing these assignments too if the final drafts are due several weeks from now. Another thing that I could improve on is my communication with my group. I was out of town from Tuesday-Thursday, and it was easy to be separated from our group communication.
