Tutorial 3, Week 4


Week 4. We were asked to use the MindMeister program to create a Simple mind map as shown above. MindMeister is a very easy, idiot-proof program to use, it allows us to create a simple mind map like the above one in just a few clicks! Furthermore, you could actually use just a click to bring google images into your mind map, which is totally convenient to use, and simple.

In this Mind Map, I actually split the WBS, Work Breakdown Schedule, into 6 sections, Location, Planning, Work Force, Equipment, Material as well as Permissions.
So in the respective sections,
# 1 Location, i actually talk about determining the ideal spot for the project and actually carrying out some pre-preparations for the project like barricading the work site, putting up warning signs as such.
#2 Planning, I actually talk about determining the cost, and time needed for the whole project, by doing such, we could forecast a budget, as well as time needed to complete the project, hence able to present to the client, in this case our government.
#3 Work force, I actually talk about sourcing for people to become the main work force, people to become managers for the site, Contractors as well as The Main Manager for the project.
#4 Equipment, I actually talk about the equipment needed for the project like Cranes, Bull dozer and Tractors. All these are needed to complete the project as it requires lots of digging of the road.
#5 Materials,I actually talk about sourcing for the ideal material for the project, and carrying out a small scale experiment to find out the potential of the material before starting the project, as this will ensure lesser mistake would be made once the project starts.
#6 Permission, I actually talk about getting the approval from The government of Singapore as well as the Approval of the LTA( Land Transport authority of Singapore) As this project requires big operations to be done on the Road of Singapore.

Lastly, I feel that once i have completed this, it really made clear of what we need for the Project, And hence We could better distribute the work load among the members resulting in a smoother progress and completion of the Project.
