The Schedule...

    Now, this project is starting to get real serious. As my I get my idea more sorted out for the project, I have started moving into the phase why I need to get a schedule going to make sure that everything is organized and moving smoothly. To do that, me and my other group members have devised a plan on a week by week basis. 

The Timeline

    Below is the week to week schedule that I have established with my group and made work for my own personal needs.

Going Forward

    Sticking to this schedule is imperative. By following as closely as I can, I'm sure I can be as successful as possible with this project. Some slight deviation here and there may occur, but overall I am feeling confident about the project. Also, I fear we are conjuring up something amazing for the plot, so stay tuned for that...
