EOC; Mid Term

Our group was the first place group. We did not read our pages directly from the screen. Our images told the story, and our website was well organized. It turned out very professional. Lucy did a great job when it came to having to “divide and subdivide the project scope into major “pieces,” or work packages” (Gido & Clements).My only concern with our project was the timing of our slides. When we transferred our information over to another computer, the timing went wrong and thus our presentation was cut short. Part of me was thinking “We’ll never get it done in time” (Gido & Clements). But we worked through it and just in the nick of time, we put it together. Overall, our team worked well together. We met up every week to exchange ideas and information. There was a combined effort to put together the power point presentation.  We did a pretty good job. Lucy is a great leader; she made sure everyone did their part.

Anne’s group was the second place group. I understood the message they were trying to convey. My problem was that there was a lot of reading from the screen involved. The color of their background was too bright (I could hardly read some areas.) There were some miss spelled words. They did a nice job on their drawings given such a short amount of time. I think that they didn’t quite understand what was required. But that goes for both teams. “Define the specific activities that need to be performed for each work package in order to accomplish the project objective” (Gido & Clements), is what we lacked from our facilitator. Everyone could have done better with closer guidance.
