Project Picnic Table

The co-ops were given a task a few weeks ago to build a picnic table. They were given a budget and a goal (to seat a minimum of 10 people). I was the "project manager" through whom they had to clear all project plans.

They had to go through the process that all our projects go through of creating a scope, schedule, and budget for their project. They created all the documentation, procured materials, and executed the project. When the "customer" changed tehir mind in the middle of the project, they asessed a Project Change Notice where they showed what the change would cost. At the end, they had a lessons learned session with the customer, and an end of project celebration.

THey saw a picture online of the table they wanted to build, and with one measurement given (the length of the tabletop), they designed the whole thing in AutoCad, and built it. Here are the pictures of the table during the celebration. Great Job Co-ops!
