Definitions
Project Management
Project management is the action of taking charge of a group of people/leading a team to achieve
goals in a project while ensuring the time and money constraints are met to their best ability.

GANTT Chart
GANTT charts are a planning tool used to manage a project ensuring that every specific deadline is
outlined and time to complete certain aspects of the project will be chosen. It works using linear
horizontal blocks with time/days being the x-axis with the y-axis being used for each part of the
project. Milestones/Deadlines are also indicated at the end of some section

Scrum Board
Scrum boards are another planning tool used to show your work divided into its different stages of
your workflow. It is a popular base for carrying out agile processes. It shows your work in iterations
which means it can be used to break down big issues into smaller manageable chunks.

Sprint
A sprint is a short amount of time in a project to achieve the completion of specific milestones/tasks.
They divide the project into smaller chunks to make the project more manageable to deal with.
Sprints may also be called iterations.

Waterfall Methodology
The Waterfall methodology, also known as the Waterfall model, is a sequential development process
that cascades through all stages of a project (for example, analysis, design, programming, and
testing), with each step finished before moving on to the next.

The Waterfall method is said to adhere to the adage "measure twice, cut once." The amount and
quality of work done on the front end determines the success of the Waterfall methodology, which
includes documenting everything in advance, including the user interface, user stories, and all
feature variations and outcomes. Because most of the research is done ahead of time, estimations of
the time required for each requirement are more accurate, and the release date can be more
predictable. If parameters change along the way, it's more difficult to shift direction with a Waterfall
project than it is with Agile technique.

Agile Methodology
Agile methodologies are product development methodologies that adhere to the values and
principles of the Agile Manifesto for software development.

Agile methodologies are designed to deliver a quality outcome through incremental and frequent
delivery of small chunks of functionality, through small cross-functional self-organizing teams,
enabling frequent customer feedback and then, if necessary, course adjustment.

Agile seeks to address the issues raised by conventional “waterfall” techniques of providing big
products over extended periods of time despite there being frequently changing customer
requirements. This would likely result in an undesired and out of date final product being delivered.

Mind Map
To create my mind map, I used the website bubbl.us. This mind map allowed me to show a simple

overview on my project with each bubble being used to show different milestones and key steps.

Gantt Chart

17th of August:

As you can see, I am running a bit behind time as I haven’t starting to code my website yet so I will
have to work quickly to start coding the site and get back on track to complete the site to the
deadline.

1st of September:

Unfortunately, it was announced that on the 17th of August, we would be going into another COVID
lockdown. This presented an issue for me as I could not access some resources, I had previously had
which slowed down my work. As of now I have created a basic HTML file for each page and will begin
to code my Menu Bar.

Website
To begin making my website, I first created the root directory for my website as well as the

necessary files and folders to run the HTML and CSS.

Navigation Bar
My next task outlined on my various planning charts was to create the upper menu bar where the

links to each page would be.

To correctly format the menu bar, a CSS document was required. I will be using this document for
almost all the formatting throughout my website.

I created a class called “navbar” to store all the containers which will hold whole menu bar as a
singular item on my website so I can format them as a collective group. Within this class I created
another class to store the containers for each link.
