School Yearbook Editor

To create the yearbook with another staff member, I applied project management principles to ensure a smooth and organized workflow. We began by defining clear roles and responsibilities, with one person focusing on content collection, including photography and interviews, while the other handled graphic design and layout. A detailed project plan was developed, outlining milestones, deadlines, and regular check-ins to track progress and address any challenges. Utilizing collaborative project management tools, we were able to create the yearbook while maintaining our regular workload.
