Analysis and Project Plan meeting

Meeting time: 1pm - 2:45pm
Venue: S223 Shepherd Library
Attendance: ALL

On agenda for today's meeting was to review our initial project plan, as well as brainstorm on the analysis.

We begun the meeting by looking at what was needed to be done for a project plan. We identified these stages which every project must follow

1. Definition
2. Planning
3. Initialisation
4. Control
5. Closure

In our definition we looked at our aim and identified the objectives given to us from the briefing

We then went through the Planning phase following these steps

1. Getting the Working Breakdown Structure
2. Time Estimates
3. Milestone identification
4. Activity sequencing
5. Scheduling
6. Replanning

We went through the first four steps to come up with our Task list and Gantt chart which we produced using Microsoft Project 2010. We also found another tool called. Switch .............. but we were not so accustomed to that.
