P7 – Review
This project has had its ups and downs when working through it because some parts of the project were hard to do and others were easy. We works in a team of two to get everything done and it showed when we missed the deadline. The attendance of our team was pretty good although we each missed one lesson to get the work done so I think this contributed to why we missed the deadline. Although we missed a lesson each we took time out of our own time to get work done but we still missed the deadline.
Overall I think this project was a very good project to do as it had different elements from writing tasks to planning to designing. Good points about this project I would say would be the designing of the CD cover and the CD on body print. These tasks were not too hard and I actually found them enjoyable to do which makes it better. The writing tasks were the parts where I fell down on although we worked in a team so I didn’t have to do all the work on my own which I was very grateful about. The planning I thought was easy and I thought that we kept to it well although we fell behind a little; we only missed the deadline because we had other work to do and we got referred on a part of the work.
What I found that was unexpected was that I drew my final front cover for the CD but after handing it in I found out that I had to do it on a program on the computer to make it look more professional. The cover that I drew was good but I understand why it got referred as if I saw it in a store it wasn’t that eye appealing, the drawn front cover made a good final design though.
The software that we used to plan this project was project Libre. In my opinion this software was not needed to keep on track with this although we missed the deadline. But I think if we did this full project and was actually doing everything on the plan then it would be needed as this project would have been a lot bigger and took a lot more time. Also if this project was in full there would be a lot more people working on it so people would have to look at the project plan to know what they are doing and there deadlines for finishing there part of the project. On this occasion the plan did not really help us keep on track.
We achieved everything on our specification even if it was a little past due, all of the work we did was done to an excellent quality if I do say so myself, i think we designed the work that we needed to design very well and what we needed to create I feel we created it to a very good standard. I feel the deadline that was given was very realistic we just fell behind on work in a real business I feel we would not have as it would be the only thing we are doing and not a lot of other work from other subjects.
Our final products that we created fit the purpose of the project very well and I feel that we did a very good job even with the minor setbacks. I feel making a plan for the project was pointless and just took up time we could have spent on actually creating the project. Although creating the plan did keep us on track and reminded us what we had to do we could have made a simpler one in a shorter amount of time. I feel the products that we created would have been saleable if they were put on the market because it was done to a high standard. If we had more time then we could have made the products better and with better quality but considering the time scale that we had I feel we did a very good job.
I feel our team worked very well and we both contributed to the amount of work we had to do equally. We both did a lot of work each and we both kept each other on track, when we fell behind we made sure that we got it done another day. I would work with my partner again in future projects as we get along and do the work.
