Project and Team Managment

All right, this was probably the most interesting class that I have had.  Today I will be talking about what my thoughts of this class are. I will be talking about a previous post about three goals I want to achieve from this class and if I achieved those goals or new ones.

Like I said most interesting class.  When your instructor gives you creative freedom on every assignment makes ones ears perk up and go what!  So I was a bit confused at first but came around slowly.  I think the hardest part of this whole class was being creative in how I turn my assignments in.  Not that I couldn’t think of anything.  It was just that there are so many different avenues one can take.  Now on the flip side of this you get a good amount of time to do the assignments, which actually helped me out towards my goal of time management.  I say this because I am a master procrastinator.  Didn’t start out that way but I’m there now.  Most the assignments were easy to accomplished if you did the time and put in the work.  Although I have one last assignment that…. I feel if I didn’t start it and work on it over the past few days it would be impossible to get it all done in one day.  I really enjoyed this class overall.

My three goals to achieve from this class are to have or be better at Project, Team, and Time management. I would like to think that I achieved a better understanding of how the workings of projects and teams should work out in a perfect world.  To fully achieve these goals I think I would have to jump in with both feet and start the production of the project that I have been working and planning the logistics of all month.  For my time management I would like to say I achieved the goal of managing my time better. I’m not one that waits till the last day usually give myself two days to do any homework assignment.  But after past experiences and crunching a lot of work into two days I figure I would stretch out the work over 3 days and try and achieve most the work in the first two days so that my third day is a touch up review day before turning my assignments in.

One of my favorite assignments for this class was the Character building assignment, where we were given five fairly famous people and had to put their skills and backgrounds together so that they all can work efficiently as a team.  Here is the link to my Prezi presentation on how I used my group of people to work as a team. 

I learned a lot about myself and how to read other people and what the meanings of those things are. I have already started using this in my day-to-day life as the information became clear in class and in the go-to trainings.  The biggest challenge I had in this class was the character studies.  But with a better understanding of why we use character studies will help build a good team in the future.
