In today’s lecture we had a guest lecturer, called Paul MacGillivray, who talked to us about project management.
In our teams we broke down food dishes into deliverables and tasks. The deliverables being the outcome (In this case Katsu Curry) and the tasks being how to get to the deliverable.
Once all teams had finished, Paul then asked us to break it down into times using estimates and then breaking the times down further by simplifying steps that are more time consuming.
Take aways- This lecture was really helpful to see how we’d break down our own deliverables into tasks, and how to gives ourselves less time if needed.
