Uses of Space: Project Roles and Internal Deadlines


We recently broke down our roles within our team. We organised ourselves as follows:

  • Project manager: Samina (me)
  • Web developer: Jake
  • Copy Editors / User Experience Designers: Heather / Jordan

With these roles as well as our personal projects in mind, we discussed how we wanted to divide our time. Here are the preliminary internal deadlines for the Uses of Space website production:

We all agreed that these deadlines (which were also shared with our graduate fellow, Laura Diamond Dixit) might change over time, particularly due to factors that are out of our hands (the 3D scanning model).
