Project Management Tools<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

During the Spring semester, the main tools we are using for project management are Asana and Google Sheets. Our long term goals are tracked using a Gantt Chart in Google Sheets and our short term goals are tracked using Asana. Our Gantt Chart is shown in another section on this page. An example screenshot from Asana is shown below. Within Asana, our tasks are broken down into the following categories: Mechanical To Do, Electrical To Do, Software To Do, Management To Do, Doing, and Done. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Fall semester, at our liaison’s request, we have switched project management platform to Zenhub where we are able to directly connect issues with our GitHub and organize our upcoming tasks into epics (In our case, we organized our epics as progress reviews), and use the built in scheduling feature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, since the Air Lab also uses Zenhub for their project management, we are able to interface between our workspaces and see each other’s progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
