Week 1 - Planning & Agreeing Contract With Client

Introduction
Over the past few days, I have been drafting up my time plan for the project, and meeting the client to agree total cost, timescale and what their needs are. As well as this I have presentated by idea to the client, and luckly they have agreed to take it on, and sign me up for it. I'm really pleased with this, and I can not wait to get started on it.

I have also agreed with the client to show them a weekly update, to show the progress and just in case they have any ideas, feedback that they wish to share with me.During this week has been quite slow, as we have only started the project itself. I have managed to produce my time sheet/Gantt chart for me to follow throughout of the next eight weeks, and the tasks that are involved too. As well as this I have done a full risk assessment on the project, to see what the risks are, how to overcome this and the best methods to do so to minimize time wasting, keeping on the budget that has been set and finally keeping productivity high. 

I have also managed to complete my GANT chart for the project's life cycle! This will show me the tasks I need to do for us to complete the work successfully and on time too. It also shows the milestones which need to be met otherwise if not the project will fail as I wouldn't be able to go onto the next stage.


I will be writing more over the next few weeks, of my experiences with the project, how well I am getting on, how well the project is taking shape and any drawbacks that I may face too.
