Work to be done in advance
- Read the project description
- Read the activity plan
In order to be able to evaluate how the work moves on, it is essential that all keep in mind the project’s overall aim, objectives and activity plan. As our design is both complex with some having double roles it is absolutely essential to reread and bring the project description and activity plan to our meeting. These documents will help us stay on the core project track!
