Week 5

In Live Plan, prompt structures lean more towards a broader, ideological, and emotional argument. The scoping exercise prompts seemed to make the format of those particular posts come out more business/professionally oriented, as we felt bullet points were more appropriate. We also ended up using more straightforward language. Upon reflection, it seems that it might be better to switch these formats, as LivePlan is intended to be a more professional presentation of our project. Also, while working on the scoping exercise, we noticed that our group worked more as a collective and had a much more open discourse. When we were writing our LivePlan posts, we distributed the work and interacted minimally during our group meetings.

Week 6

This week, the work on Live Plan seemed to be more structured and to the point, while the work on WordPress seemed to be broader and more encompassing. It seems very interesting to me that this is almost the polar opposite of last week, though this may have to do with the fact that we could not physically meet this week and instead chose to cut up all the questions and distribute it amongst ourselves, rather than do it all together as a whole. In any case, this week’s work seems to be more in line with each sections’ intended goals in terms of writing style, which hopefully will lead to a more conducive presentation on both ends.

Week 7

This week, the work done on the research project seemed particularly succinct, at least compared to the massive amount of information imputed  to Live Plan. Additionally, the work on the research project had a distinctly subjective perspective. Due to the fact that a lot of the information imputed to Live Plan was number-based, it instead had a far more objective perspective. Also, information on the research project came a lot easier to our team than Live Plan. This was primarily due to our difficulty in finding concrete numbers on Aramark’s end.

Week 8

The difference between both segments of this weeks work I believe were the biggest out of all the weeks. The research project section functioned almost as a final review of different sections of the project as a whole. Also, this section seemed to be focused on potential derailings, risks, and existing difficulties. Live Plan was very different. They were focused on measures of success, beyond anything else. While it is possible that the information inputted in both of these may overlap, most of the information is starkly different.
