In order for my project to be completed successfully I am going to produce a schedule, outlining what tasks need to be completed at what stage and how long each stage of the process should take in weeks.
I have divided the project into 7 main timeframes, which are mainly composed of research tasks:
Idea Generation: 1 week
Audience Research: 2 weeks
Research into other products: 1 week
Budget Research: 1 week
First exports: 1/2 weeks
Alpha Tests: 1 week
Beta Tests: 1 week
In total this adds up to 9 weeks, however I have overcompensated on some sections, and so they may end up taking less time than a week and therefore I will be able to fit it within the 8 week timeframe. I will also be able to conduct certain tasks simultaneously, for example audience research and research into other products during the same 2 week timeframe.
