This past week turned out to be a great week for Team Global Solutions. It all started last Thursday, when our client Dr. Gwynn Powell, visited one of our meetings and as usual provided more assistance than we needed at the time. Her drive and charisma motivated the team so much, that we almost forgot about the tight stretch of a week that lied ahead of us and the nightmare of the Needs Assessment that lied ahead. Yes, my choice of words is clearly just for dramatics, but the point is, we had a busy week ahead of us. Thursday night’s meeting motivated us and as a result we were able to achieve a lot this week: We met twice this week: On Sunday night and Tuesday night. On Sunday we were able to accomplish two important goals:
- Defined the scope of the content
- Finalize plan for completing the Needs Assessment Document by 9/11/08
On Monday night we were able to put our plans into full swing and met with one of Dr. Powell’s classes to administer the survey. Also, due to tremendous teamwork we were able to get the results tallied and analyzed by our next meeting on Tuesday night. Tuesday night was the final meeting we had in preparation for the Needs Assessment document. We all left the meeting feeling quite good about what we accomplished as we were able to finalize all the areas needed to complete the document, and in less time than we thought we would. Come to think of it, most of our meetings do not run for more than an hour to an hour and a half, but we always seem to cover so much. This efficiency may be attributed to a teammates that come prepared and that contribute all they can when it is needed and as Project Manager I must say it makes me very happy:-)
In the next week we plan to:
- Receive FULL content from the client
- Complete review and thorough analysis of the content
- Complete the Task Analysis
- Begin formulating concrete design ideas for the project
As we move forward, we as a team are working very well together and I can’t wait to see the progress that will occur as the program we plan to develop begins to take shape.
