Communication plan & advisor session

I am really excited about the communication/scheduling plan I am working on for the theatre.
I have had several e-mails with Anne the new marketing person and she seems happy that someone else is ready to tackle these issues. I mentioned the need to circulate an agenda via e-mail to the meeting participants so we can cover everyones issues at the next meeting.
I hope this will ensure that my issues are addressed. She is having difficulty getting everyone to a meeting - but hope one will be scheduled by next friday.

A suggestion I made for the meeting was that I bring a large year-at-a-glance type of calendar (love a visual aid) to help with the scheduling and planning for the up comming shows and classes. Also, I need to think of a way to make it easy for people to submit photos from the shows so we can archive them and also use some for the website...right now we send out e-mails to parents and staff and ask if anyone has any they want to share...so far this is not working. I am 2 shows behind in getting current images to use!

Thanks for the suggestions, Ralph. I will definitely jot down some thoughts in a offline journal as well as this blog, and I will research developing a CPM chart to asses risks of the project.
I think I actually may have this from project management class last trimester...thank god for PMI! (and I am not just saying that to make Lisa happy)

Website tasks for tomorrow and beyond - Review design concepts for pages,think about Joomla site and how design will best work in that environment. What content still need to be developed, gathered from stakeholders. Optimize photos currently used on website..they are too large still and download times are long.

Re-read Joomla class syllabus and schedule for class deliverables to see how it aligns with my work schedule. I need to set up some due dates for Melissa for milestones/approvals from my stakeholders and for me. Also discuss with Melissa the idea of keeping a time sheet of her work.
I should do the same!
