Assignment overview In this final assignment, you will engage in reflection, reflecting on the performance of your team, both individually and as a whole. Your personal reflection will examine the team as a whole, while your peer appraisal will reflect on each team member's individual performance. This reflection will directly impact your readiness for the next capstone unit, and it is a central piece of learning for this unit. Throughout the unit, the assignment focus has been as much about the process as the product. Now, you are reflecting on the process. Learning to do this kind of reflection will also be important in the workplace, where 'retrospective' and 'lessons learned' sessions are common. It is an essential part of continual improvement.

The titles of Responsible, Accountable, Consulted and Informed (RACI) indicate these input levels clearly. R - RESPONSIBLE Those who do the work to complete the task A - ACCOUNTABLE Those responsible for ensuring the work is achieved within the set time frame and to the expected standard. C - CONSULTED Opinions are sought from to complete work. I - INFORMED Those who are kept up to date on progress. Project Schedule The Fed Project Gantt Chart illustrates our project schedule and the tasks that are needed to be accomplished in order to complete our report and presentation. The Gantt Chart also provides the start and finish dates and displays the several tasks that need to be completed in certain periods of time in relation to the amount planned for those periods. There are also some tasks that cannot be started unless a certain task is completed first and there are tasks that can run simultaneously. For example, the profitability tasks cannot start until the description and strategy tasks have commenced followed by the stakeholder charter.
