Plan Stage;Green Technology

This stage is after you have finished the designs. The plan for your product will need to have the following items:

  

Introduction A simple paragraph, which aimed to explains the duration available for planning, the sections/tools you will use, and state those who will be helpful to you in the stage(s) coming.

Basic Steps; the basic steps are brief sentences outlining the main steps in the in the plan. The basic steps do not give details about the resources required and duration. Limit the outline of steps to 10.

A Gantt chart can be used after the basic steps.

Production plan /Process Plan (plan for the creation part only)

The process plan is detailed information about process of creation.  The activities descriptions should capture specific techniques that will be applied in each step of product development. The production plan is developed from the steps identified in the basic steps.

Evaluation of the Plan

The evaluation of the plan looks at how realistic, logical, and achievable is your plan.  

Notes: Moderation report Feedback 

·         The plans were essentially well documented and provided a link between the final proposed design and the realization of the final product/solution.

·         Most plans included logical sequential steps and timings.

·         Students should be encouraged not only to list resources but also say how they may be used.

·         The evaluation of the plan is necessary for students to reach the higher-level descriptors. It is required to determine whether the plan is feasible or realistic, could it be followed by others and has undergone any modifications since the design stage.
