WK 5: EOC Midterm

The first place group was my group which is 4 Interior Design. We had an awesome presentation and we did a great job on our website. We had planned out our project very well which is why we did a great job. "It is important to develop a plan before the start of the project, this plan should include all the work tasks, associated costs, and estimates of the time necessary to complete them." We had provided a lot of photos in our presentation and very little text which was good because it made our presentation interesting. We put in a lot of time and effort into our website and what made it so great is that 90 percent of our pictures were our own and not from the internet. We did a great job on the power point as well. We did have a few weak points however. We ran into some issues with our power point running too fast before we could even get a word out. But we tried our best not to stumble on our words. Adding music to our presentation was a nice touch. Overall I think as a team we gave 110% in the project. As the project manager, I was able to help my team come together and create a great presentation. "The challenge to the project manager is to prevent, anticipate, or overcome such circumstances in order to complete the project scope on schedule, within budget, and to the customer's satisfaction."

The second place group was KASE Interiors. Their power point presentation had a lot of typos. They could have also added more photos and less text. They did touch on a few good points, and their floorplan drawings and elevations were great but the overall presentation could have been worked on a little bit more. I think that this group had a different approach to this project. It was quite different from ours mainly because both groups didn't have a clear outline as to what was expected. I think that if we were told what exactly we needed to present, then our presentations would have sounded more alike. "A project involves a degree of uncertainty. Before the project is started, a plan is prepared based on certain assumptions and estimates."
