We would change the level of communication we had with the client. Didn’t get the much needed information in a timely
manner.
Worthwhile? YES!

Thoughts at the EndGreat experience! Not enough time
We were able to generate a lot of ideas We weren’t able to execute many of the ideas
because of time constraintsLack of communication between client and
the group. Often had to get Prof. Morris involved in order
to illicit a response
Future & What We LearnedFuture:
Keep the project!Suggestions:
Have a standardized set of instructions for clients and make sure they understand them 100%
What we learned:The real world is NOT like college.
Time schedules aren’t as strict and conditions aren’t always ideal
Long distance communication can be a huge problem Face-to-Face meetings proved WAY more effective
Always have a back up plan
