Project Planning
The tasks were studied in order to understand them.
We reviewed the available employees’ profiles.
Each person was assigned the task that fit his or her qualifications.
We planned for some risks including but not limited to overtime, buying materials, new tasks.
Recognitions were also part of the planning to motivate outstanding personal.
Stakeholders were planned to be given a status report every 2 weeks.
Training also was part of the planning to increase efficiency.

Lessons Learned
Management: we learned that informing management with big decisions will help the process of making the project easier. Management suggested that we should motivate the team in order to increase productivity. Moreover, it is important that management recognize the good work that was accomplished.
Communication: team members must communicate with each other as well as team members and management. We learned that David was going through a hard time because we communicated with him. Moreover, we discovered also that David and Tea do not get along with each other.
Leadership: it is very important that the leader of the project keeps his or her employees in mind and not to drawn them with work. They must come to work wanting to work, and it is the leader’s responsibility to make them want to come to work.
