There were multiple times where a problem had caused me to have detrimental effects on a project. Most of the time, the problem arises from poor planning, which is a crucial step in the project life cycle. A capstone project which was assigned to a group of four seemed to be the most hard hitting project. It required a year’s worth of research and planning. In the beginning, it was hard to follow-up with three other members, and sometimes, no progress would get done, since some members either did the same work or did not do the work at all. However, after communicating the issues with each other, we realized we needed to set “mini deadlines” for aspects of the project we wanted to be done. Our professor recommended using a Gantt chart, which did help a lot. We also updated work on a google docs, where everyone could see the progress that was being done, instead of being unsure and repeating work. Thus, the issue was mainly in planning, and our focus should have been entirely on that. We were able to finish the capstone by the end of the year, and it was very gratifying.
