Project Plan

Team Organisation:

The team was organised in a manner that allowed everyone to put their time to good use. As a group it was planned out how to go about the project. It was decided how much time was to be taken at each stage. Then a Gantt chart was drawn up, allowing for us to see what stage we should be at, and when.

Team Positions:

·         James Golding – Project Manager

·         Dave Brown – Chief Designer

·         Ross Catchpole – Finance Officer

·         Richard Brennan – Stress Analysis

·         James Flanagan – Materials Specialist
