Aaron Lavarias Project Management Lavarias Family Reunion
Particulars of the Project • Reunion/Grad party • Approximately 50 guests • Budget of $1000 • Date set at July 31st • Distance was a major factor
Lessons Learned • Technology is your friend • Importance of communication • Organization was the key to success • Microsoft Project • Group Size • Bigger is not always better • Self Motivation
Technology Is Your Friend • Communication strained due to distance • Couldn’t do this project without a cell • Facebook as a communication channel • Communication with sponsor provided success • On the same page • Goals and expectation were clear • Provided direction
Organization Was the Key • I was disorganized in high school • Starting projects with no goals/ideas • Benefits of MS Project • Clear focused steps • Time Limits • Everyone has an assigned task • Everything was visible in one spreadsheet/graph
Group Size • This was a lesson about myself • Group size can be a hindrance • Other people’s schedules • Different opinions • Power struggles • I prefer to work solo whenever possible
