I reviewed the project management process an identified successfully
and unsuccessfully choices made and decisions taken
I meet all the project specification. In this project
specification I spoke about my group’s responsibilities and mainly my own. I clearly
state how the project meets the requirements of all the stakeholders e.g.
client and target audience.
The target audience is for Business
men (who travel a lot), 20-50 years old, Male, Middle class, £40,000+ annual
income. It is common for this target audience to have a smart phone such as a
blackberry meaning that the phone application will be handy.
When designing my homepage I made my website have a good
colour scheme. The website also had to be updated all the time to the related
theme depending on the month of the year and also when adding offers and
discounts on our products. Flash animation was also designed to display the
products. Contact details were to be
easily spotted and the main page on the front fold which I also did.
One of my responsibilities in this project was to design the
suitcases and add the GPS tracking device inside. I used paint to edit the
pictures and create the product. This was gone very well by all three members
of the group.
We meet all actual dates according to the project plan. Reasons
in which some projects fail are because they miss the planning dates. The team
does not review the project in time and then fails to stay within the project
time. Some other ways in which project fails are:
·
Poor communication
·
No time for project management
·
Lack of change management
·
Poorly risk defined deliverables
·
Over optimism
·
Inadequate estimate
We also had three meetings which helped a lot in discussing
the project and how we was going to tackle the challenge ahead.
Some of the issues we discussed were each member of the
group was at and if needing any help should ask and we would have helped, designing
the project, implementing and at the end test and present it to the clients. We
did this very well even with some minor setbacks which happened because of
college strikes and teachers being ill.
