    During my undergraduate capstone project, we created a Gantt chart using Microsoft Project to guide us and better visualize the timeline of the project. In the Gantt chart, we divided the project into three parts, brain storming, designing, and testing and allocated specific time for each part. During mid-semester, we realized that we missed several milestones and need to catch up to meet the project deadline. As a result, we looked at the chart again to see the effective way to catch up. We came up with the strategy 1) working extra hours outside of classroom 2) working independent of each other to achieve the goal. We didn’t have a contingency plan as it was an unexpected issue, but we just had to speed things up to finish the project on time.
