Revised: Gantt Chart

As the project director, I have revised the gantt chart for our 'Trace the Thread' progress and given to my team members. Although most of us are on the track smoothly, there is some changes regarding our schedule.

The two main changes are：

1. We have extended the time for design section

2. Add in one more roadshow at Little Penang Street Market

——Extension Deadline for Design

The reason we extended the time frame for design is due to everyone is busy with their own assignments and also struggle in their work scope for this project at the same time. Thus, I decided to delay the time frame to allow quality publicity materials, other than poster, Facebook timeline and brochure which have to come out at the very beginning.

In addition, the another reason is we are still unsure with the printing price. This part is in charge by Ee Lin. At first, I asked her to come out a budget list in more details, which to ask for the quotation from printing shop. Afterward, I rushed Ee Lin to look for printing sponsorship as this is the main expenses for our project.

However, she still unable to get the printing sponsorship within the time frame we set. Thus, I asked my graphic designer friend to figure out few printing shops for me and I passed it to Ee Lin. I even set a deadline for her since we are no more time to hold on this anymore.

Luckily, we get the cheaper price and discount from Goodrich printing shop recently.

——Add on Roadshow at Little Penang Street Market

As what I mentioned early in the post meeting with Queen Lee, we decided to have a roadshow at Little Penang Street Market. Other than tutorial, we planning to asked the collaboration chance with Food & Beverage corporate.

According to Hui Ying, Sangkaya wishes to join us and giving out part of this profit as financial support for our project at initial. Unfortunately, the owner decided to cancel the plan due to they do not have enough staff to come over for our roadshow last 2 weeks ago. Thus, he decided to replace it with voucher sponsor.

I suggested Hui Ying to look for other corporate, such as Puffy ice cream & dessert, US Pizza & Aubrey's Waffle, in which we believe that it is a good strategy for us to get financial support and also benefit our sponsor at the same time.

At last, we are lucky enough to have US Pizza willing to join us for the roadshow, and 50 percent of the profit will goes to our project. They even sponsor us for the refreshments for opening ceremony. Thanks Hui Ying for not giving up!
