Client Project Reflection

I have enjoyed working in a group for the client project! I do believe that 4 minds are better than 1, when it comes to brainstorming. We have been able to bounce ideas off of each other and collaborate to get the best ideas for our client. When you work with other people you get a piece of their ideas, which could be something that you never would have thought about. I think working in a group has the ability to cover all areas of a project.
I knew this all along, but working in my group reminded me that not everyone thinks the same. This can seem like a frustrating concept when working with a group. You expect everyone to know what you are thinking and want to do the same thing you do. But this is an unrealistic idea.
The best thing about this project, along with our e-portfolio, has been learning how to create websites. I feel like with the major advances in technology, having the ability to create a website will be very beneficial in any career.
The biggest challenge that I have faced while working on this project has been our group meetings. There were a couple of group meetings that I felt like we did not get much accomplished, sometimes that was because there was nothing that we had to do. I think that it was very helpful to have an agenda for each meeting. It helped to see what we needed to get done, even if there were only a couple of things on the list. The minutes became very helpful in later group meetings.
After working on this project I have learned that sometimes you have to be patient when waiting to hear back from the client. Even though the project is very important to you, replying with needed information might be a low priority on the client's list of things to do. You also have to be flexible and willing to alter ideas to meet your client's wishes.
