LESSON LEARNED

 


1. The Power of Effective Planning in Project Execution

The key lesson learned is the importance of effective planning in project execution. Effective planning involves anticipating and preparing for potential challenges, including the need for a backup plan. In this project, the venue unavailability highlighted the value of having alternative arrangements in place to ensure the smooth execution of Module 2. By incorporating contingency measures into the planning process, teams can adapt to unexpected situations without significant disruptions. Furthermore, effective planning includes strategies for managing tied scores, such as having backup questions, which ensures a seamless progression in the project timeline. While effective planning requires additional effort, it greatly enhances project outcomes and mitigates risks, making it an essential aspect of successful project management.

2. Mastering the Art of Adaptability

Adaptability is a crucial skill in today's fast-paced and ever-changing world. The course emphasized the importance of being flexible and open to adjusting plans when unexpected changes occur. Throughout the project, we encountered various situations that required us to adapt quickly and find alternative solutions. One of the notable examples was the rescheduling of modules due to venue unavailability. Instead of sticking to the original plan, we had to rearrange the schedule and combine module 3 and module 4 on the same day. This required us to communicate the changes effectively to participants, mentors, and speakers, ensuring everyone was aware of the revised timeline.

3. Embracing Growth: Stepping Beyond Comfort Zones

As an introvert, venturing outside my comfort zone and engaging with strangers or speaking in public has always been a challenge. However, this project provided a transformative opportunity for personal growth. Being the mentor of this project allows me to challenge myself and develop greater social confidence and communication skills through meaningful interactions with the participants throughout the event.

  Introduction Embarking on Social Engagement course and collaborating on a community project with my course mates is a thrilling and entirely new experience for me.

New Journey Begins Here On 16 March 2023, we had our first lesson physically with our lecturer, Dr. Azah on the course structure. Attending physical meeting after a prolonged period of online classes due to the pandemic fills me with excitement. Under the guidance of our lecturer, Dr. Azah, we embarked on the implementation of our project. In order to ensure the smooth execution of our project, it is essential to establish a committee team comprised of dedicated individuals. The democratic process was employed, allowing us to nominate and vote for individuals whom we believed would be ideal for the committ

EXECUTION OF THE PROJECT

  Introduction I'm excited as we begin our project, "Hacking The Future – Breaking Barriers, Building Tomorrow." This project consists of four modules: Programming For Newbies, Making A Wise Choice, Cyber Warriors' Odyssey, and The Next Golden Decade. Each module will be conducted on Saturdays, including the opening and closing ceremonies, spanning a total of four weeks. Prior to each module, there will be meetings for all committee members to discuss the details and plan for that specific module. Regrettably, I was unable to participate in module 1, Programming For Newbies, as I competed in the Programming National League (PLN) on the same day, May 13, 2023. Execution Module 2 ---  Making A Wise Choice (27 May 2023) Due to the PLN competition and MyTech Career Fair, module 2 of our project, initially scheduled for May 20, had to be rescheduled due to venue unavailability. Fortunately, with the approval of Dr. Azah, we were able to secure a new venue at Dewan Sri Muti
