While working on my Animatronic Eye Project in 2020, I went into the project with an idea and ran with it, without stopping, until I completed the model about 2 months later. I realized a little too late that I didn't feel that I had enough documentation of that project. This limited most of my descriptions of its development to the major changes that I made instead of smaller modifications and problem solving solutions.

​

With that in mind, I made it a goal of this coaster project to organize and document as much as I can for the duration of the project. Because of this, I focused more on a Project Management perspective than I have in the past. To do so, I utilized a Project Breakdown Structure to break the full model into smaller parts that are easier to keep track of and keep notes on as needed.

​

Before starting any modelling progress, I created an Excel sheet breaking down the full model into sub-assemblies and kept track of each individual part's status, importance, completion date, cost, and any problems/solutions I had. By reading the data of individual parts, I also was able to give a summary of overall progress both for the project as a whole, and for each sub-assembly. 

​

By starting the project from the beginning with this form of organization, it made the whole process much easier to document and keep track of progress.

I explain in depth how I utilize this spreadsheet in my YouTube documentation.
