My Take:

This project was the first where I took on the role of producer or team leader. I was tasked with dividing the workload between our members efficiently and devising a schedule for us to follow. This being my first project, I believe I learned some valuable things that helped me throughout several of my other projects. For example, it is important to follow-up regularly with your team in order to ensure work is being completed sufficiently and on time, and making sure each team member is positioned in a role they are comfortable with and most likely to succeed in is paramount to the success of the group.
