Scheduling
and Progressing
We
have now reached the stage where we have arranged the
design, ordered the stand building and become familiar
with the needs shown in the exhibition manual. Many
events leading up to the exhibition or trade fair are
how happening and as the weeks pass by even more will
need to be incorporated into our plans. The progress
schedule provides the indication when the next item
needs to be actioned. This schedule is in fact an extension
of the work already done. The design brief established
the requirements we decided were necessary, the drawings,
which resulted, were tendered and a standfitting contractor
appointed and the budget created.
We
now have to continue that work and establish a list
of action dates to ensure that the correct event happens
when it should. This could be called a critical path,
progress schedule or any other title that appeals. Its
purpose is to indicate requirement, the planned date
and the actual date the item is achieved. The headings
here are similar to those we used earlier on in the
budget:
-
Publicity, promotion and PR
- Advertisements
- Invitation
tickets- mailing list
- Brochures
and leaflets
- Organiser's
promotional aids
