CAS & Global Citizenship: Preparation

STAGE TWO: Preparation

In the Preparation stage you will consider the elements that make you 'ABLE' to complete your project. At this point, work on the structure, plan and management of your project.  

In this section you need to provide evidence and reflection on:

  • Assigning of roles and responsibilities for yourself and others
  • Identification of specified resources
  • Construction of a timeline and planning for deadlines
  • What 'success' of the project looks like. How will you know you have completed it?

The Design Process

Might you be able to apply the Design Cycle to your project?

Project Management: Gantt Chart

A Gantt chart, commonly used in project management, is one of the most popular and useful ways of showing activities (tasks or events) displayed against time. On the left of the chart is a list of the activities and along the top is a suitable time scale. Each activity is represented by a bar; the position and length of the bar reflects the start date, duration and end date of the activity.

This allows you to see at a glance:

  • What the various activities are
  • When each activity begins and ends
  • How long each activity is scheduled to last
  • Where activities overlap with other activities, and by how much
  • The start and end date of the whole project
