This will help us analyze our total time spent at the end of the project.

Week 2: Defining the Project

Thursday night our team met to discuss items developed last week and to start the activities for this week. We are still waiting on content from our SME. I met with Holly on Monday morning to flesh out what we need from her and give her a general direction for delivering content to us. Hopefully we'll be collecting that on Wednesday. Our client answered a number of our questions regarding the goals and needs of the project, as well as information to describe our learners. At the moment, our needs assessment and project scope are being developed and have been shared with the group for comment. I expect that we will have content tomorrow to review before our next team meeting.

We also presented our project to the 6200 class to recruit consultants. Six people have asked to work with us -- I think they will be great additions to our team. I hope that we can define their objectives in enough time to use their time well. Although we've been getting answers from our clients, it does feel like our project is languishing a little bit in this start-up stage.

To do for next week:

• Outline consultant needs for job fair
• Draft analysis document
• Draft project management plan
• Draft scope document
• Start project activity logs
• Send notes on system and scope to client for approval/negotiation
• SME to provide content outline and rough material by Monday
• Schedule meeting for Week 2 w/ SME Met Monday AM
• Stakeholders to provide direction for agent perspective
• Email roles and responsibilities to all (project and client team)
• Review content with team
• Define team tasks with content to support task analysis
• Initiate task analysis (if content satisfactory)
