project development issues

Be sure to discuss these issues:

• time management issues
• skills needed to complete the project
• resources needed (people and technology/materials)
• budget
• team issues (even if it is just you and your mentor, that forms a team)
• other issues

1. Time is huge in a project like this, but it is also unpredictable. one thing you have to remember is your not going to be able to stick exactally to the timeline you mapped out in the beginning. There will problems along the way that you just have to deal with.

2. One of the biggest skills we thought of were stress management. and just being able to not get to stressed out.

3. One of the biggest resources is a computer, but we discussed that the mentor actually be available was huge. Having someone you can talk to and discuss your project will help out a lot.

4. Something i know i didnt really think about before we discussed this was the budget. We talked about how much it really is actually going to cost us, and how we didnt even think about paying for out project.

5. as far as team issues the biggest thing i thought of was not being able to work together. as a mentor and student coming together there has to a little bit of agreement and if that isnt there then it really just isnt gonna work out great.
