Project Management

This is basically a set of tools such as planners, journals and charts (Gannt, Pert) to help you plan and manage the time, people, tasks and resources of a project.

This is a Project Planner

Date	Person	Task	Time
12 Dec 2013	Bob	Lay concrete foundation	4 hours
15 Dec 2013	Terry	Build wood frame for house	2 days
22 Dec 2013	Jo	Install plumbing	2 days
23 Dec 2013	Sam	Install electrical	3 days

This is an example Gantt Chart made in Excel.

When creating your own Gantt Chart for the SAC, just use one cell = 1/4 of a session (i.e 10 mins).

This is a Project Journal. This is filled in at the end of each day to record who did what, problems encountered, what you achieved and whether or not you are ahead, behind or on schedule.

Date	Journal Entry
12 Dec 2013	Today Bob laid down the concrete foundation. However, due to poor weather, the concrete is taking longer to dry, meaning it will take another day longer than planned. So we are behind schedule.
16 Dec 2013	Today Terry has started building the frame for the house. Terry has worked faster to finish the job quicker due to being behind schedule by a day. Terry hopes to finish the job in one day and a half instead of two.
22 Dec 2013	Jo called in sick this morning so he was unable to do the plumbing. This means we are again behind schedule. To make up for lost time, I had Sam come in a day early to start the electrical.
