This progress challenge requires you to provide written and visual evidence of the project management and planning processes you used in creating your 2-D and 3-D based artwork. These include the following:

1. One visible and clear snapshot or scan of a task list created using an online project management tool or some other method.

2. One visible and clear snapshot or scan of a budget created using an online project management tool or some other method.

3. One visible and clear snapshot or scan of project schedule or timeline created using an online project management tool or some other method.

4. A brief report explaining the importance of project management processes and tools in implementing your 2-D and 3-D based project.

TIP: Navigate to the student forum to engage in the discussion with your peers.

Answer

The task list and/or schedule were created using Microsoft Outlook (Outlook.com) – this email program and calendar is for scheduling tasks and timelines; and for marking off items on a checklist (screenshots not available).

 A project checklist can also be created using Microsoft Word or One Note (see above), and a budget with Excel.

 Another alternative is MYOB – an accounting and payroll software package like Excel.

 Project management is important for ensuring things get done:  

1.       setting up appointments important people;
2.       drawing up schedules
3.       budgeting for time and money
4.       Ensuring that a budget and time frame are adhered to.
