About
Along with the project, Mr.Patrice had taught us how to be good in managing a project by showing new applications such as Trello, Slack, Miro and some working methods like Kanban, Waterfall, etc. in order to help us to get familiar with real life working process in the future. Beside, he also taught us how to communicate and deal with clients when it come to a problem that need negociation, he let us know what is right and when the students should accept clients’ additional requirements. Instead of forcing us to do what he want, Patrice let students have real experiences by letting us deal with risks by ourselves first then he will give better advise for us base on our different situations. From the consult with Patrice, our team know more about setting priorities for each task of the project to have the best management which help us relief some burden, we also know to predict the Risks that could occur and how to deal with them which also help us have wider vision and not surprise when the problems come.
