Time Management - SCRUM Chart - All Modules

I can admit my time management hasn't been the best so far. I have attempted a Gantt chart but felt there was no benefit whilst working towards my goals.

So I did a little more research into it, and I found the SCRUM chart. This is something more often used within software development to meet goals for a certain time frame. Something of which I found would be more useful to me, as I can visually interoperate how much I have to do and in what time I have left to accomplish it.




















By using scotch magic tape curtesy of the course starter pack, I have devised a similar sort of strategy into my own line of work by using the same methodology to apply myself to complete tasks within a given time.

This is the board filled with all the tasks I have left to complete. I have colour coded each post-it note to ensure it can be easily visually interpreted (Something the camera doesn't quite pick up on), I also split the chart into clearly visible columns to separate each task. From Studio Practice to Context of Practice, it's all there separated into their individual study briefs and study tasks.

With time, I will slowly begin to move the tasks along the chart until they are completed. I have included an emergency column which I hope I won't have to use, this is for tasks which are due within the next few days and have priority over the others.

Being that this is an interactive form of tracking my time, I feel I will benefit more form this than any other method to time management.

Later, a burn-down chart will be added along side the scrum task board, this gives me an idea of my progress within each aspect of the course and a line I can follow to ensure I am on track to complete all work within the given deadline.

An example of the kind of burn-down chart I will be using for each module of the course. (Source: Wikipedia)
