Step #3: Proposals


First, you should note that our original plans have shifted in light of your needs. That’s a good thing. I want to give you time to get your mind around this project. You will receive the complete guide according to this schedule:

  • Thursday, December 8: Introduction, Overview, and Step #1
  • Friday, December 9: Step #2
  • Tuesday, December 13: Step #3
  • Thursday, December 15: Step #4

Step #5 is a little gimmicky, since it will simply tell you to get to work. You’ll get it with Thursday’s update, and you’ll see what I mean. Let’s start today with the Pareto Project guide, updated with Step #3:

The Blueprint


Step #2 is ongoing, remember, and you have updated directions for what to do by Wednesday. Step #3 is there for those of you ready to tackle it. For the sake of redundancy, a link to the blueprint is below. Remember to make your own copy.

There’s a metaphor here, I’m sure of it. (Click for the blueprint.)

Pay careful attention to the section of the guide for Step #3 that discusses how to share and refine these blueprint proposals. Make this as collaborative an effort as possible to cut down on delay.

As always, ask questions about this step here or in class. You’re closing in on winter break, and we’re likely to move on before then to talk about Santa Claus; before that, you need to be sure you know what to do for this project. More than perhaps any other skill or trait, this is a test of your organizational and autodidactic strength.
