Review the project management process and identify successful and unsuccessful choices made and decisions taken


Looking over the project which I (Mohammed), Sam and Rami undertook did not pan out as how we interpreted it. Looking over our project plans I believe that tasks that we had carried out for the project partially some tasks that were carried out ran over the time span allocated that we set on the project plan. Even though sticking to the dates on all tasks set, I wasn’t able to stick to some of the tasks time span stated on the project plan. This meant that some tasks had to be rushed in order to keep on track or when running over, keeping the overtime to a minimum as possible. The reason why some task took more time to complete was due to the fact that there was a large quantity of work such as the website not being at its best. The main problem that had occurred in the project was that Rami webpages that he create didn’t meet the standard of a website specifically he used lorem ipsum which meant that there was no information on his pages about our site which lead to the user not have a clear message being conveyed to them. Because of this the group had to wait a week because of half term to do presentation to the client which caused a lot of overtime for this task of presentation to client. Due of the fact of time management the webpages created were kept very basic so we could keep to the timing set on the project plan which is one of task that we met. Regarding the successful that went well with the project management part of the project was that the group was able to complete the project on time according to the project plan even though with some tasks we did not completed on time and over ran a bit. Other successful things the well was that we got feedback from our client and peers, because of this it enabled us to be able to get idea of how to improve our webpages. Another successful thing that went well in the project was that the group I (Mohammed, Sam and Rami) all worked as a, there were lots of tasks to be done at specific times and we got them complete such as the interim reviews and designs.
