First Ideas

The first week of the Project Management section was spent discovering the subject of the project. The team is assigned to create a design which encourages "creative conditions" within a workplace for a competition ran by the RSA Student Design awards.

After much research and discussion the team decided to design a creative workplace using the ubiquitous storage container which is used to transport goods all over the world.

I felt that this design proposal is a good idea with promise. Using empty storage containers will allow us to stretch our creative muscles. Some of the team members weren't so enthusiastic about the design ideas as I was, however myself and another team member persuaded them to give the proposal a chance.

I am slightly apprehensive about how the design project will develop, as I feel that the team has very different design skills but also work in different ways. It may be a struggle to come to unanimous decisions and have a cohesive design strategy. I believe it will be beneficial for the team to have regular team meetings/discussion in order for ideas to be discussed and plans to be made.

Good team work is the key to a successful project management project and it is imperative that our team works well together and communicates effectively.
