• Managing Quality, Time, Cost
• Poster were not printed in time • Graphic designer was late • Red bull didn’t work out • Lack of ‘what's in your fridge’ uploads • We kept a risk log throughout the process which we
added to • Made sure we had appropriate contingency plans
What did we do well? • Worked well as a team • Flexibility and Adaptability • Stall in the atrium • Innovative
What did we learn? • Importance of communication • Being realistic • Naivety • Professionalism
What would we do differently? • Prioritise the APM challenge • Utilise our resources more • Select one deliverable • Communicated more with certain
stakeholders
Recommendations we have developed for future projects • Ensure initial objectives are realistic • Maintaining motivation • Communicate with stakeholders • Be cost effective whenever feasible
• Lack of comments from external users (not as self manageable as originally expected)
• Maintaining the site ourselves is feasible in the short term
• Long term view seek out new owners – possible first year students looking for project management experience.
• Thank you to the APM for this opportunity
• Karen for embedding this opportunity into the unit
• Russel (our mentor) for guiding us through the process
