Progression Under Pressure

Our group seems to be having the most issues with trying to find the exact materials needed to begin our prototype solution. Our group barely turned our descriptive proposal in on time due to our lack of collaboration, and execution. This is mostly my fault because our whole group needs to contribute to to be successful. But we used our time wisely today in class, and were able come together and work out the specifics to who, what, where, when, and how our group is going to prepare, build and execute our prototype laptop bag/sleeve. After an entire period of "intense research" our group decided that we could find and possibly buy our own materials to save time, instead of having to wait for funding and our materials. Also our group knows exactly what materials we want, and it would be harder to have to describe, and explain what we want. Instead we will take the initiative and do as much work on our own as possible to save precious time. Also Darin has worked out a meeting with Tanielle Lau, to help our group sew, and assemble our prototype laptop bag/sleeve. Below is our planned schedule for our project:
