Subject: Project Progress Review 1 Date: 20/9/2012 Next Review: 16/10/2012
This is the feedback obtained from my client in our most recent project progress review which was held on Thursday 20th October to review the success of the preparation stage. I have scheduled regular project progress review meetings and they will be used to measure how satisfied the client is with my progress and the progress of the product as well as identifying any areas for improvement or any necessary adjustments. It is different from a normal meeting because we review my overall progress in the whole of one section.
General Project Progress
Good
I have successfully kept to my project plan throughout the whole of this section. This is how my plan looked before I started my project.
My first task was to create a project proposal which I started on the 5th of September and the last task was to research some Adobe Flash tutorials and practise with Flash on the 18th of September. I had one meeting with my senior manager which was held on the 10th of September and I have recorded a detailed set of minutes for this.
The ticks indicate that 100% of a task is complete and every task in the ‘Preparation’ section is complete so every task has a tick next to it.
Bad
As I progressed through this section I only updated my project plan three times and when I did I ticked off the tasks I had done in the last week or so but when I move onto the next section I aim to update my project plan after each task so that my plan remains accurate and up to date.
Good
· I exchanged emails with my Senior Manager, Mr Love and he approved my project proposal and said he is happy for me to create the product for MCM Net.
· I had one meeting with my client where we discussed the general foundations of the product and basically established what the client wants and what the product needs to deliver. I recorded a detailed set of minutes for this meeting.
Bad
I feel I have succeed in establishing a fluid flow of communication betwwen myself my client and my senior manager although I have not communicated with all of my stakeholders i.e. my peer reviewer. I also want to improve upon the level of communication with my cline in the next section- ‘Design’ as this will ensure that the client has lots of input so the product is exactly what they want.
I have only communicated with two of my stakeholders in this section (client and one senior manager) when I should be communicating with both senior managers, peer reviewers and client consistently throughout the project as well as the other stakeholders.
Blog
Good
I have a consistent amount of basic blog entries for this section that describe how I am progressing and I have given a general overview of how the project is going and what I am doing.
I have shown some levels of communication with stakeholders.
Bad
I do not think my blog entries have been as detailed as they should have been in this section and to rectify this for the future I have devised a set of blog headings that will help to focus my entries and provide a specific and detailed account of my progress. These are the headings I am going to use:
Progress
Resources

Communication
Concerns
Action Points
Concerns
Action Points
I have included a screenshot of an email for this section but this is the only evidence I have for this section so I will aim to have at least two pieces of evidence for communication in the next section.
