Week 5 Planning And Time Management

Throughout my time in higher education I have learnt that planning and time management is key to keeping my work on track this also allows me to understand what is needed for what time. My time management skills and planning started to really take place during the team project of Games Development this project gave an insight into what working withing a small studio would be like as project management is needed otherwise it affects the whole team and not only my personal work.

Since Games development I have always used a program called Trello this is a very simple and easy to use software which allows me to set takes with milestone dates which can include assets. textures or shaders needed at a set time.

 I can also keep a section for finished products this helps me keep track of what has been developed. Trello can also be connect to an app on my mobile device which can alert me to keep on track or to remind me what work needs to be done this is very useful.

For a more in depth plan I produce a gantt chart which will state main tasks these will be the tasks that will need the most attention during development and various other takes. each task will be assigned a date of completion alongside this will be the amount of time I should spend on each task, keeping to the produced gantt charts will make sure I am on track for my major milestones.

Both tools I will use will all future work even if not for the creation of 3D work both tools are very useful to keep my on track throughout any project.
