Another Meeting Done
Yesterday, our bi-monthly meeting with the project manager leader is held. This time, my portion of the job is too little to create some kind of Gantt Chart for the entire duration of the project. I’ve never made one before so I have to learn to create it. It’s not that difficult with todays advanced software and technology. If you know how to use any Microsoft Software, then you only need to learn how to manouvre through Microsoft Project.
Enough on promoting Microsoft, so what I need to do now is to prepare the Gantt Chart and then finish off the questionaire for my end user. Simple it may sound, but a lot of vigorous reading and understanding is required as I don’t have the in depth comprehension of a professor. The thing here is called, “Needs Analysis & Planning”. It is the foundation of the project before actually implementing it and also just to give you a few perspectives as a start.
A quick search on Google results on millions of pages with ‘Needs Analysis’ keywords. A nice page to do a review of the topic is http://www.nwlink.com/~donclark/hrd/needsalt.html. It’s a good resource when you don’t have anything on your mind yet. I’ll write more on this once I’ve digest all the information.
Be sure to stick around on my next FM information venture.
