Going back to the Gantt chart that I made at the beginning of the project I am doing an overview at the end of my project to see if I stayed on track with my Gantt chart throughout the project.

Now I have finished my McLaren rebranding project I’m doing an overview of whether this Gantt chart worked for me and if I stuck to it. I did stick to researching throughout my project, I was always looking for images and inspiration and in some areas also looking at data, this was in my merchandise section where I wanted to know what colours people did and didn’t like wearing. My development did run over by a couple of days as I spent longer than I should’ve on my pitch work and creating mood boards which meant I had less of the assigned time to do my designing. My designing is what took me the longest amount of time in this project, there were some touchpoints that I spent too much time on which meant I had less time for other touchpoints and other things within my course, so management on this needs to be sorted out by me as it also started to eat into my evaluation time. When this happened I became very stressed and overwhelmed as I felt like I had so many things going on at once, in future, I need to stick to the assigned time I have given myself to prevent overwhelming myself, downsizing projects and only doing extra stuff to them if I have the time. Because of all of this I had less time o evaluate which meant I had to do a resubmission as I ran out of time to do all of my evaluations with my projects which shows the severity of the situation and that this really needs to be improved on by me.

So overall did the Gantt chart work for me? The short answer is no because I didn’t stick to it, I would try using it again in the future and being more strict on myself about when to stop and move on to the next thing and then I believe I would be able to work well with this management technique.
