Week Six

Group Presentation on Communication

This week chosen groups have presented on planning and explained the importance of it, here is some of the things i have learned.

Communication and leadership go hand in hand.

Successful project management communication is about being there for everyone, being in touch with the real challenges of the project, understanding the real issues within the team who must deliver the project.

Being present, visible and engaged with everyone during the good times and the challenging times.

You could consider communication methods to be either active or passive.

Listing and not speaking over people is very important for clear communication.

Communication visually is very important with charts, graphs, pictures, images etc.

Get to the point, Repeating your self a few times does not hurt and to be assertive when needed.

The Creation of Gothic Architecture

Anthony Constantinidis, Lorrain Xiao, Lauren Seif, Bassel Wannous, Xiaodong Fan, Benjamin Hur

The presentation lacked volume is was hard to hear overall and the slides have moved quite quickly and did not correspond with the speech. The movie was very interesting relating to there project and the way they have communicated so far with this ongoing project.

Black Motorcycles: The Last Suprematist Sculpture

Marina Hanna, Andrew Thantrong

I personally like the cartoon video and found it very informative and relative. Over all a great presentation that was clear to understand and was not over informative.

Bus Stop of the Future

Martha Melia Masli, Anthony Chami, Kerre Skarparis, Darren Joshua Weinman, Daniel Sean Olivera

A nice clean presentation and well planned, i thought the video was a little boring but the level of presentation was high so it did not bother me.

On my second attempted i got a much better result but i see at the back the Texture has concrete instead of metal and looks a little deformed.
