Development Schedule

I’ve been writing up the Development Schedule in Microsoft Project.  I think the schedule is looking very good and hopefully doable!  I was really excited to try out Microsoft Project.  ACM has student software, so I was able to download Microsoft Project as a result of my student ACM membership, which was convenient!  If you happen to have a student membership in ACM, I highly recommend that you take a look at the MSDNAA program page as there are several useful programs you can get for free.

MS Project is a seriously complex program!  I had to go through a lot of help documentation to figure out what I was doing.  Thankfully, there is a really helpful step-by-step help panel that takes you through creating a project, scheduling tasks and assigning resources.

There is now a very nice calendar and task chart for Team MangoBunnies.

I’d really like to keep track of our tasks on an online project task manager.  If you have any suggestions for a task manager, please let us know!

Also, Ashley isn’t completely jazzed about the team name, MangoBunnies.  I truly can’t imagine why, since bunnies are cute and adorable and mangoes are scrumptious!  If you happen to have any team name suggestions, we’d like those too!
