When all your details are addressed, you’ll need to make a timeline for each section of your project. The answers you gave in the earlier sections will merge to give you a whole set of tasks and timings for them.
For instance: the answer to ‘project intended to be used by’ on ‘Assumptions’ would merge with ‘informing/including participants’ on ‘Details: Timing’ so you could have a task moving from “contact young people in Belcoo centre for ideas: week 3” to “check out ideas with young people: week5.” through to “collect young people’s focus group feedback: week 16”.
* The answers you gave in ‘Assumptions’ will give you the names and content of each activity
* The answers you gave in ‘Details: Timing’ will give you the duration of each part of your project.
* The answers you gave in ‘Success Measures’ will tell you where to place your evaluation
* The answers you gave in ‘Resources’ will give the project organisers support for finding out details in the information gathering tasks.
The project timetable below only deals with the start of a project. Your timetable would move on to the event/project itself and post event evaluation. It is worth working on the detail of a project timetable. You’ll see that in the example, Weeks 4 and ‘etc’ hold meetings - the agendas can be found in week columns, gathered from the task timelines. This will help a newly formed project committee tremendously.
