Project Day 4:

Today was our first day to start construction. But first we started with the team leaders collecting the field trip forms and taking them to a brief meeting with Fitz and Vezino. After deciding which of our engineers will come with Dylan and I to meet with the Keysight team manager.
We went to Jolly's classroom and listened to him tell us about his experiences. We recieved pointer and he answered questions. Important points he made were:

• leaders need to be organized, clear, and set reasonable expectations

• check in with members and set and keep to schedule and goals

• identify critical pathes and stick to completing them

• remind members of the purpose of each meeting and address off topic ideas as side notes to be addressed later

• communicate to everyone as a group and individually depending what is needed

As Dylan and I, along with two other group members, waited for other group members to come back from the store. During that time we learned that a group member had changed the materials list, which our group was using the shop, without telling anyone. Dylan and I worked to figure out how we need to adjust our plans of construction to fit what could do with the supplies that were being bought. Also, during that time the group members that had stayed on campus worked to draw the bench and bocce ball court designs.

After lunch our team was complete. Everyone that was shopping had returned. First we discussed with them the change that were made and desinated assignments to each member. They broke off into small teams with the tasks Dylan and I had given to them. Dylan and I worked to help, and supervise the team.
