Sample Project Plan

We recommend shooting to complete the project a week before Maker Faire. That way you’ll have a little cushion in case things take longer than you expect (and they almost always do!).

Project Description (a short paragraph of 10-30 words)

Setting Milestones: Plan a timeline for your project. Feel free to adapt this chart as necessary to meet the needs of your project and team. This template is just a starting point. You may want to have one or two milestones each week, or every other week. For each milestone date (a) create sub-goals for each team member and (b) Include the amount of time you think this goal will take to reach.
