Re: Project Management and FIRST?

We had a Gant chart last year, but we ended up not looking at it after we made it. It was helpful for prioritizing since everyone knew which systems we were putting the most emphasis on, but we didn't stick to it very well.

What ends up happening on our team is, all the mentors and some of the students have individual mental timelines for when things should be finished; if things aren't getting finished, then someone talks to the group working on that system, or steps in and helps them if that's what's needed. It gets a little confusing, but I think last year's attempt at making an official chart plus the experiences of the previous two years helped keep us on track (somewhat).
