Approach: Create charts such as charter, scope, and gantt. Establish roles and responsibilities. Ask around local businesses for sponsorship. If not, ask if we can set up a fundraising booth in front of the establishment. Pre-cut lumber the week before so the Construction management team can execute effectively.
