Time management

Failing to plan is planning to fail.


To complete a project successfully, you must control a large number of activities and ensure they are completed on schedule.


Gantt Chart
  
A Gantt chart is a document created to act as a visual tool when completing a project that has many different tasks attached to it. This is a live document, which means it can be updated or modified at any time. It outlines all of the tasks within the project and the order in which they need to be completed, within a specific time scale. 


A Gantt chart can be incorporated into any kind of project. I have created a Gantt chart so I can manage assignments, ensuring they are completed within the set timescale. This includes any research and practical work that needs completing.



Mind Mapping

Before generating the Gantt chart, it is always preferable to create a mind map for each specific project (or assignment). Mind mapping is a good way of getting all your ideas on
paper so they can be prioritised onto the Gantt chart.



An example of a mind map I put together for one of my assignments.

Below is a section of the Gantt chart I have created. This is a live document and I will continue to update and edit this document as the course progresses.
