Definitely nervous this task! It was probably my favourite, but I think the end products are so evenly matched!

Slightly nervous. This wasn't my favourite task if I'm honest but I feel I did a good job in this task.

Viveza, let's start with you. How was Zak as a PM in this task? And how do you feel the task went for you overall?

Zak was an absolutely brilliant PM. I know I said this last week but I repeat it this week, definitely the best PM I have worked under so far.
The task went surprisingly well. I do think that we didn't 'research' as much as I wouldn't liked to at the very beginning, but that was partly because I pitched my 'area of research' (Survival Horror genre) first and had already planned my idea and they were all sold immediately. The end product is something that I am really proud of! |

So Carlisle was the one who came up with the idea you chose? Were there other ideas thrown into the mix? And was the decision to go with that one a unanimous one?

Okay, and to Reflections - how was Louise as PM? And how did the task go for you?

It took ages to make decisions, I disagreed with quite a lot of decisions on this task, I don’t think she was very decisive and she delegated a lot of the tasks to others and didn’t really do much herself. However, I do think in comparison to the past two days she was stronger today. But in terms of her project management today I don’t feel it made up for the past two days and it was a case of too little too late.

I feel overall it went well. I really enjoyed the task itself and it was fun to play around with some concepts and put the idea together. So overall, it was a good task.

The task went really well, there were some arguments between Louise and Katie throughout the task, about silly little things such as Wii consoles, but asides from that, it went really well! Gav was absent this afternoon, and missed the pitch, so that was another downside! |

Louise was an absolutely fantastic PM, she stuck to her guts throughout, and acted as a friend/guidance throughout the whole process. I agreed with every decision made, and I don't think anyone could've done a better job!

Louise, do you think this is a fair assessment? I'm not surprised at all about Katie's assessment due due the fact she's been uncooperative despite admitting she doesn't know much about video games. I even backed up my reasons for not using her ideas. This is one of the worst assessments I've seen for any PM so far and I think it's totally unfair. |

I think the difference between these two statements is ridiculous.
![]() ![]() I do think Louise made lots of wrong decisions personally. Obviously, Jess doesn't agree and she's entitled to her own opinion. I just disagree with it.
