Week 6 post

I realize now that I've been missing these blog posts. the past two weeks, Ive been throwing most of my energy into the bake sale. now that that's over, I've been able to focus more on contacting individuals in charge of parking and waste collection at UNCW and will have face to face meetings scheduled with them by the end of this week. after these meetings, I will hopefully be pretty much set with my operations duties until closer to the event. after that, I will begin to prepare for the next bake sale.

week three

   For this week, I drafted an email to the campus parking manager, Ken Kaiser, so that the class could  review it and make suggestions during my operations presentation. I was also given a new job, running the bake sale, so I've been getting up to speed on that. in preparation for the bake sale job, I posted a "dirty dozen" review of that task in another blog post.

Dirty Baker's Dozen

1. What?
      -This project is gonna rake in the dough, pun intended. I'm told the last bake sale made $358, so I'm aiming for 400.

2. Customer?
     -Friends, classmates, the random passerby on Chancellor's. People who like other people and want them to have some baked goods, and people who like baked goods.

3. Deliverables?
     -Our primary tangible deliverable is cash money, to be used for the spending and such, hopefully about 400 dollars worth.
       An intangible deliverable would probably be awareness on campus of our event.

4. Budget?
     - This segment is currently under construction

5. How long?
     - The event will be 9 hours, from 9 am until 6 pm on Wednesday, feb 11th. set up will take one hour before hand, and cleanup will take roughly an hour afterword. there will be an hour or two in the week leading up for posting posters and baking bakies and such.

6. Specific needed skills?
     - we need sales people to sit the tables, as well as people who know how to operate an oven for to do the baking and such.

7. Special resources?
     - Tables, The Goods

8. Who's working on this?
     - Everyone! everyone will be providing baked goods, supplies, and time at the table

9. Schedule?
     -print posters feb 5th
      post those posters feb 6th
      event happens feb 11th

10. Risks?
     - Big risk would probably be that no one buys stuff. another could be weather. Unlikely risks include forgetting the baked stuff, not getting the tables delivered, and no one showing up.

11. how will you communicate with the team?
     -Facebook, cell phone, google drive, class

12. How will you determine if the project is successful?
     - if we make a good ol chunk of cash. preferably 400 and above.
