How the Project Unfolded During Implementation:

At first, the whole project seemed very daunting and confusing after we listened to our client’s request. There was a period where our group does not know how to start and had time conflicts to meet the other group. Our first major step towards the project was majority of the two groups got together and step up a schedule and brainstorm ideas together. That meeting impacted all of us tremendously and drove the teams into the right direction; those who understood the project explained to those who were unclear until everyone knew what to do. A while after, we held our second major meeting, this time we assigned work to different members who excel at certain tasks. As we the project progressed, it became much easier overtime and does not seem that difficult anymore.

What has Gone Well and What Needed Extra Work:

In our project, we produced injects for the North Shore Emergency Management Office which were composed of visual injects made from Photoshop and verbal injects which were written descriptions. We were required to work together with another CBEL group on the same task in which we successfully collaborated with them by delegating tasks equally to each group to ensure that both groups worked as one cohesive group, and no task was repeated by the groups. As a result, our successful collaboration with the other group allowed us to work efficiently and produce good quality injects to be sent to the client. Our group also worked well together as we divided tasks equally to ensure that every member has a fair contribution to the project, and we frequently met as a group to make critical decisions regarding the project. One aspect our group could have improved on is the attendance of meetings, full attendance in group meetings were rare, and would often require those who were present in the meeting to reiterate what occurred at the meeting to the absent member

Project Outcomes:

In the project, we were asked by the client to create approximately 30 to 50 visual and written injects. We managed to create a total of 50 injects for the client, which were divided into visual injects created using Photoshop, and written descriptive injects. The majority of injects were visual because we decided as a group it was more suited for the client’s purposes of using them. As we were required to collaborate with another CBEL group on this task, our group was responsible for creating 25 injects respectively, in which we successfully produced 17 visual injects, and 8 written injects. Our visual injects used software such as Photoshop to reproduce images on how important structures and buildings in North Vancouver could look after being affected or damaged by an earthquake or natural hazard. Our written injects use descriptive first-person language to describe a scenario of the aftermath of a natural hazard of a key structure or location in North Vancouver.
