Another issue that i encountered was the minutes that one of the group members produced about our final meeting. The issue with the minutes was that they were produced to a very low standard.

This was a straight forward day to day issue as it was resovled on the day that the minutes were distributed.

I dealt with this issue by asking the group member to reproduce the minutes but to a higher level of quality as it could effect the groups grade.
4. How did my contribution affect others and vice versa
My contribution affected other members of my group as it meant that they were able to have a higher quality typed up minutes.
5. Discuss whether it was a Long/Short term issue and what will be done about this
This was a short term issue because it was sorted within one day. To fix this issue i asked kindly for the group member to reproduce the minutes document.

Trouble sticking to GANT chart
1. Discussion of the issue
Another issue that i have encountered throughout this unit is sticking to the time that i have allocated to each task in my Gant Chart. This was because i had fallen behind on the dates set on other tasks due to events out of my control and the overall poor quality of my Gant Chart.
2. What type of issue was it (Straight forward day to day/Complex day to day issue)
This was complex issue, this was because it meant that i was behind course on my unit and could lead to me not completing my unit on the correct deadline set.

To deal with this issue i had to work even harder and quicker than i was currently working at so that i could complete tasks in less time that i had allocated to the tasks previously, this would help me to get back on track and would allow me to meet the deadline.

Issues with homepage design
Discussion of issue and problem:
Once the final homepage was designed and distributed to the members of the group Ifelt that the design and background used on the webpage was not appropriate for the theme of the website and overall did not look that good.
What type of issue was it:
This issue was a design issue as the issue was revolving around the design and layout of the webpage.
Discuss how I dealt with the issue:
To combat this issue i made a decision to modify the webpage so that it was suitable for me, this was because i felt i would not be entirely happy using a theme throughout the webpage that i did believe was that good and would not allow me to make the website as professional as i would like. I decided to re-design the webpage, changing the colours and positioning of several features.
How did my contribution effect others and vice versa:
my contribution to changing the design of the homepage did not effect any of the other group members, this is because this phase of the design task was individual work and would not relate to any other group member.
Was this a short or long term issue:
This issue was a short term issue, this is because i produced the new homepage within a few hours, after these few hours the design was ready to be implemented into the rest of the website.
