Final Report Real Time Interactive group project
Introduction
For this report the process of creating the game Chased by Snakes as a member of Danger Noodle will be discussed.
Methodology
For this project it was decided by the group to use a flat management structure, and to follow a system akin to free development. This method meant that none of the group was the project manager and instead the thing keeping people on track was their self-motivation to complete the project. To aid with completing the project at the start of the project a list of work was set out from the requirements, and then each member of the group picked the tasks that they could complete for the year. The main reason such a free and unstructured

Another problem is that this method requires everyone to have high motivation if they want to complete the project to a high standard and a as the group is small a few unmotivated people can bring the whole project down. The group did have motivation problems during the middle of the project with some group members not producing any work. The motivation could have been reduced if the work been assigned one at a time instead of all at the start allowing people to focus on one thing at a time and seeing the list of work get smaller.
A problem with using this flat management with free development is that there are not a lot of examples to follow with many companies using agile. It seems that this flat management is new to the games industry and so the group might make some mistakes that others can learn from in the future who want to use the same structure. There are however some companies that do, valve uses a flat management structure and so does Chucklefish games (Bithell , Sliwinski, & Orlowski , 2016)(18:25-19:00). At Chucklefish the flat management works well as there is a small team of people who are all self-motivated to complete the parts of the game they are working on. As we were working in a
As student work together as a group, they learn the skill of time management as they juggle school, the project, and all other activities in their schedule. Also, having students work in groups for projects will help this skill thrive because it will also encourage them to work on it periodically so they won’t be overwhelmed a couple days before it is due. Moreover, working in groups help students take leadership and manage the group. In almost every school group project, there is always that one person that takes charge and becomes the “Group Leader”. This will also teach students how to manage a group and how to divide work evenly among
Overall, this group project went very well and was completed on time due to the fact there everyone including myself assigned ourselves with a task role, relational role and from the start had individual roles present such as leader, compromiser, and gatekeepers in the group that made it
The paper is divided into three sections, the first of which will establish a timeline of events. This project background will serve as a case study for the analysis in the following section that will be structured such that each of the previously mentioned facets will be independently analyzed and contrasted with project management principles. Finally the paper will conclude with a summary of the analysis and recommendations based on
I believe many students do not like group assignments because for the most part a person or two do not pull their wait leaving the leader doing most of the work. Other problems includes having to deal with various personalities, the work distribution, trying to communicate with each other, feeling vulnerable, and the way everyone gets the same grade because it is a group effort. So the lazy people get the same grade as the people who worked hard.
Team leadership can be very instrumental in the success of a project to ensure that the project stays on schedule, encouraging use of best practices, planning and scheduling activities, problem solving and helping to facilitate control. This is achieved through team dynamics, deliverables and meeting customer expectations. The utilization of a team based approach serves to improve performance and will ultimately increase the success of a project. Nick of CanGo has been assigned the Project Manager for
If you have a very negative environment or intense environment in our classroom kids don't learn as well as they do in a positive environment. Group projects allow students to work together with their peers and talk amongst themselves as one but do it while getting the knowledge and materials they need to learn. This causes the students to be less nervous when working with other and that makes the classroom they are in a more positive setting for them. I can speak from experience and I would rather work on a project with more than one person rather
Project – this organization structure is temporary and is designed to achieve specific results while using teams of specialists from different areas within the company (Chand, n.d.) Once the project is over, the team members may be disbursed back to their original position or be assigned to another project. This style is good to use when there is a unique and unfamiliar to the company, work is not repetitive in nature, and critical in terms of possible gains or loses (Chand, n.d.). The project manager and the functional manager shares the authority over the project team members which could cause a conflict.
a major group project I have had to work on in my life was my freshman magnet project. In this project we had to work in groups of four to research a career in its entirety including degrees to obtain and schools you can go to. From the very beginning we knew this project is going to be difficult as it had many components. we decided that divided the work would be the easiest for everyone's success. as a whole we were able to accomplish a well designed poster and presentation of our work. Separated however we were able to create a successful portfolio, the most important part of the project. We each individual we did our research on our chosen part and when the time came combined them onto a singular files which can be modified by everyone
Why projects are bad for students Group projects are often assigned in schools all over the nation and every adult and child have been at the time when they get a bad grade on a group assignment because of a. For this reason, group assignments are often groaned upon in a lot of schools, especially if it means working with someone you don’t like, and that can hurt you academically. That is why group assignments should not be assigned anywhere because of the academic risk of uncooperative or mean group members messing up your hard work and effort, causing you to get a bad grade over something you meant to do good on, even though they offer pros, the cons out weigh the pros. In the classroom, the uncooperative members could be stubborn, mean,
I think I will argue against group projects. I argue because if there is that one person that does not do anything thn that will bring your grade down. Or if you are paired with people you don't like then you won't want to do the assignment as much. That is why I argue against group projects.
One reason to be against group projects is that it takes more time when working with others to finish. For example, it usually takes longer to make group decisions because students do not always have the best relationships
In the Problem Solution Project, I was placed in Group 3. Our group was Small Group as it consisted of six total members. Our group members name was Latisha Ford, Ian Cooper, Dylan Thornton, Chris McMahan, Conner Stevenson and myself Anit Shrestha. Each team member was significantly working hard to make this project a success. Every team member had an important role and contribution in the group.
This paper includes an outline of a presentation, command terms and definitions, examples of graphs and a Work Breakdown Schedule (WBS) on project management, and presented to the class at Crescent View High School. The focus will be on how to plan, schedule, monitor, and report on projects. Also included are the project management methodologies, tools and techniques used. The discussion to the class will begin with an opening statement that provides an overview of project management, terms and definitions, and an example of buying a house utilizing project management to manage activities.
This paper will discuss how to make a dysfunctional project team successful. Project managers sometimes go through experiences of great success and dysfunctional failure. Some projects become "behind schedule, over budget, members quit due
Balance: In this project before assigning of the task we have discussed and identified the interest area and technical capabilities of each member to perform the task. we have enlisted the activities and made a responsibility matrix chart and traced the team members with tasks. to perform some activities we created a sub team within team, where a sub team leader was accountable of deliverables and other team members assisting sub team leader to complete the activity. We did periodic project performance review to monitor project
