Project Execution

Once the project has been planned, next comes the fun! We are ready to execute. In the execution phase, we are completing the work we outlined in our plan and throughout our Gantt chart.

How do we execute a Capstone Project? Like any project, this is when the work is being completed. There are many key activities and concepts to remember during this phase:

1. You made a plan and schedule and this should guide your progress. While the deadlines may seem flexible (as your deliverable are not due for a long time), it takes time to complete various tasks. Thus the importance of making and keeping to a schedule. There may be dependencies out of your control that must occur at certain periods of time, so you do not want to have any elements lagging or mast0-minute.
2. Communication is key! You should have a regular reminder to have updates with your team and updates with your client (See Communication Plan chapter) .  It is okay if things are not going to plan, but if no one knows they can not adjust accordingly.
3. Keep work in a shared directory to avoid redundancy (like a Google Drive) and have the ability to monitor work and progress throughout.
4. Ask for regular client feedback and be prepared to adjust if outcomes are not as expected.
