The document outlines a production schedule for a project with milestones including primary and secondary research, submitting dissertation in three parts totaling 6,000 words, an evaluation, and final presentation. It discusses time management during the different phases, noting the researcher was able to meet deadlines for research but the dissertation took longer than planned due to its level of detail, though evaluation and presentation were completed faster than expected to make up for it and meet the overall deadline.

1. Time Management
During this project I had a timescale of production which meant that I could meet deadlines and also
be able to understand what needed completing immediately and what I had more time with. This is a
production schedule of the work that needed to be completed within this project.
Task Summary Date of Completion
Primary Research The primary research task means that for 10.10.11
some of the research and information that is
needed will come from questionnaires and
surveys.
Secondary Research Secondary research means that through the 20.10.11
internet, books, magazines etc. there will be
information that is needed in order to complete
the project.
Dissertation: Part 1 The part one of the dissertation is the first 15.12.11
2,000 words of the dissertation so that it can
receive feedback in order to be able to move
on to the second section.
Dissertation: Part 2 The second part of the dissertation was 09.01.12
another 2,000 words which will contribute to
the previous section which means that there
will be 4,000 completed words.
Dissertation: Part 3 The third part to the dissertation is the final 17.02.12
2,000 words to make the 6,000 which means
this is the final piece of the dissertation.
Evaluation This is the evaluation of the project and the 15.03.12
product which is two separate evaluations for
this entire project.
Presentation This presentation is in front of peers where I 20.03.12
will be marked on presentation and therefore
the project needs to be formatted in a
presentation.
During the research period of this project I felt that I managed the time I had well as I kept to the
completion dates that I had set out to complete the research. This meant that I had succeeded with
time management in this area. When completing the dissertation this took much longer than expected
because I didn’t realise the amount of detail that was required within the dissertation which meant that
I did not succeed with time management in this section as it had taken much longer due to the detail
that was required. Finally during the evaluation and presentation process I felt that this process was

2. completed faster than expected which meant that I succeeded particularly well within this area of the
project and I also feel that is how I made the extended project deadline through the final process
being speeded up which meant that it equalled out the poor time management when creating the
dissertation.
