During one of my internships, I had one big project that I had to divide up into several smaller parts. Each individual component used a whole different set of tools and doing them all at the same time would only confuse me. So essentially, what I ended up doing was spending a lot of time on the critical part of the project and really focusing on that and making sure that was correct. Once I was confident in that, I moved on to the other mini-projects. Once finished, I had to combine all of the parts together. Unfortunately, I forgot to account for a specific issue and that really affected the integration. What I ended up doing after that was going back and restarting that component again and making sure it matched up which ended up wasting a lot of time and caused some delays. If I could go back, I would have done the whole thing differently. I would still break the project up into smaller components but instead of doing everything separately and then combining them at the end, I should have implemented ‘checks’ just to make sure that all the parts would line up at a certain point and then move forward and then check again, and so on and so forth.
