Action Plan Evaluation
When looking back on my action plan and how much of what we planned actually got done, I can see that as a class, we made an effort to stick to it – I just don’t think we made enough of an effort and I think we could have completed nearly everything when we planned to if we tried hard enough. On multiple occasions we moved dates forward because we hadn’t completed them. For example, on the 12th November, we were supposed to have auditions but we had to move that to the week beginning 19th November as we did not have enough people to audition yet. We as a class could have prevented this by sticking to our set timetable of who will be hosting sign-ups and when. Advertisements could have also been better by having more …show more content…
Having a deadline there meant that we could at least try to come close to what we set date-wise. It did help us if you look at the action plan because you can see that we were never more than a couple of weeks outside of our deadlines – so we were still trying to keep close to what we said we would do. It also helped us keep track of our planning because we could plan backwards from the show itself and note down all of the important events that would need to be done by the night. Looking ahead to all of our plans helped us get an idea of what minor things we would need to do on the lead up to each big thing and it especially helped me with my advertisements as I could see what I would have to advertise and when. For example, as soon as we made our action plans we went straight to the end of the planning period to set a date for our show. This meant that not only did we have a clear goal to work towards as a class but we could work towards things within our individual job roles too – in my case I could work out how many different posters and other advertisements I would need to do and also the rough date they would need to go up around …show more content…
We could have spread everything out instead of having a lot of things having to be done all in one week – which was very stressful. One example of a very stressful week was the 4th February. In this week we had to host the dress rehearsal, sell tickets, take in requests from acts for the lights used during their performance, find out which acts needed a backing track and collect any letters concerning the rehearsal that hadn’t been collected in yet. Not only was that a stressful week but it was ridiculous in terms of how close to the show it all was. Considering the show was on Tuesday 12th February, to be doing all of this from the 4th is far too late. The only things we should have been doing that week would have been selling tickets and sorting out the letter for the dress rehearsal – which we should have had 90% of replies for by then (which we didn’t at all). Laura should have asked the acts for their preferences on colour of lights at least a week before then and Leyci should have had the backing tracks done by then, never mind asking people who needed them – which she didn’t even do as she wasn’t as the Sunday rehearsal, Erin did it for her. Also, we only had about five replies from the rehearsal letters and we started sending them out two weeks before that time – meaning we should have has nearly all of the replies by then. We could have solved
