Planning

Task plan

Organize and plan your work sequence – from planning to presentation – using a task plan. Set milestones and estimate the time required for each task. At the end of each phase, compare the time it took to complete the task to your target time. Please use the Task Plan template. Download: Task plan.

Workflow diagrams

Set up two workflow diagrams for GIS data processing (one per animal species). First develop a rough sketch for your workflow diagrams which includes at least the following information:

  1. Input data
  2. How the input data are combined (your solution strategy)
  3. Output data and results

This first draft is not meant to be a perfect solution scheme but your main idea and solution strategy should become clear.
You will present your task plan and your workflow diagram to your class and discuss them with your classmates. After successfully completing this phase (green light from your supervisor) you can begin the implementation phase.

The trial-and-error experience during the implementation phase will help you to continuously refine your workflow diagram and eventually to come up with detailed diagrams showing your approach and the corresponding process steps.
