Project 1 And 2 Greatly Assisted My Work

The skills that were developed in Projects 1 and 2 greatly assisted my work in Project 3. For instance, the work-back schedule served as a valuable practice and time management tool. From completing a task one week ahead of schedule in Project 1, to completing a task one day before the deadline in Project 2, the work-back schedule in Project 3 was adjusted to accommodate a new variable; group work. Accordingly, I believed that it would be necessary to allow a longer period of time to work on specific tasks that involved interaction with group members. Moreover, the team proposal task in Project 3 was similar to the client proposal task in Project 2. Feedback received from the previous project was used as a guideline for assisting in successfully

In my opinion, the most challenging task was the infographic draft of Project 2. A total of three drafts were created before it was approved. Unfortunately, the first draft was a complete mess. I received a ton of feedback regarding improvements. The second draft was substantially different from the first, but was still lacking some key elements. Finally, the third draft was deemed satisfactory, but still required some editing. This took nearly two weeks of back and forth messaging with the client, revising, and developing the infographic. It is the case that this task required the most time out of all the tasks this term. It is also the case that I had underestimated the time and effort required to complete it. The deadline I created in the initial work-back schedule had to be adjusted multiple times to accommodate. Consequently, this caused a great deal of personal anxiety and stress towards completing the other tasks of the project. Time was limited and a greater deal of quality in my work had to be present in order for approvals. If tasked with creating another draft, I would ask my group members for advice as well as request for specific criteria from the client. The difficulty that was experienced can be partially attributed to the miscommunications with the client. As such, I believe that it is crucial to minimize misunderstandings by requesting for clarification if

For example, the very first task required the completion of a work-back schedule. This task exemplified the importance of time management and planning that can be applied to daily life. The following task of requesting information from a client helped me develop a professional format for messaging business partners, colleagues, etc. Writing persuasively will prove to be beneficial in circumstances where convincing another is required. Additionally, writing about negative news for the task of informing the vendors who were not selected served as great practice for future occurrences. Project 2 taught me that others may send work back and request more if they are not satisfied. It also taught me that this should not be taken personally. This specifically resonates with myself because of past negative reactions to criticism. I now believe that constructive criticism is essential to one’s growth. Project 3 involved a great deal of group work. Initially, I was not fond of this because of past experiences with mediocre groups. However, I soon came to realise the possibilities of an effective team. Work could be completed quickly and revisions made by multiple members to ensure accuracy. More importantly, I was able to meet amazing people who assisted one another in the completion of the project. Indeed, the aspect of group work will benefit my future studies and whichever
