In October, we were put into our groups for the first time, based specific roles and strengths, meaning that we have strengths as a group across all areas. After meeting our team members, we started to build our project plan. We started by assigning everyone with different parts of the project, making sure there are at least 2 people on each part so that if one person is away, our progress isn’t halted. To do this, we used the plan section in Microsoft Teams and split out each part of the project into 4 sections: ‘To Do’, ‘Deliverables’, ‘Work in Progress’, and ‘DONE’. This makes it easy for the team to make sure we stay on track. The team decided to nominate me to be the team leader for the first 5 weeks of the project, as I have good communication and time management skills, which means that we stay on track from the start. During this month, we had started 3 tasks. The first task was creating the plan. This was finished during the second lab session, giving us extra time to move on to the second task. We could have improved on updating the tasks in the right sections, in order to make sure we had completed tasks on time. The second task was creating the IR sensor on a breadboard. This was done very well, with little problems. Finally, we started working on the website, starting with creating the main body of the website.
