Organisational Skills, Schedules & Planning

To organise our group our team leader Kalina decided that within the discord that we use for communicating we would use a bot to keep organised. This bot called “Task Manager” was used to assign tasks to group members in an easy and convenient way to make sure that we we’re all up to date on what we were doing for the group in that week. This was a way that we all stayed organised with our assigned tasks and were able to plan what each group member would do every week.

Also for staying organised and planning things we had separate channels in the discord for each type of work that the team might have to do, such as 3D work or graphic design, which we used for sharing work and discussing the relevant sections. This meant that it was easier for us to talk about certain topics in the relevant places on the discord server, allowing us to stay organised and keep things neat and easy to find.

Additionally the group had a board on the website Trello to break down the tasks and elements that we would need to create for this project. These tasks were broken down into separate lists which allowed for them to be assigned to members to work on for tasks during the project. These smaller tasks were assigned weekly and corresponded with the roles that we had all been given to make sure that we were working to our skillset. Trello was a really good site to use to plan aspects of the project as a team and to keep the tasks organised and neatly listed in one place.

Personally, to keep myself organised I set aside a few hours a week and scheduled this time for working on my tasks for the project. I also set aside 1 hour for the group meeting on Wednesdays every week to make sure I could always attend these important group meetings. By setting aside time each week for this module it gave me time to do my work for the project without it conflicting with my other assignments for other modules. I set aside adequate time for each module and assignment each week to work on them and make sure I am keeping up and staying organised. This along with the tools our group decided on made sure that all our work ran smoothly.
