Choosing and shaping a project 2

If you haven't chosen a project yet, it's now time to decide.  Choosing a project can be exciting, but finding one that suits everyone in the group can sometimes be difficult. Sometimes, you think you have found a good idea for a project, but you hit some snags when you start work.

It is also very easy to get carried away with your ideas and to set yourselves targets that you are not likely to meet with the time, resources and skills you have at the moment – be careful not to do that.   But don't set your targets too low, either.  At Higher you should be tackling a project that you will all find challenging and satisfying.

Once you start your project, you may find that you have to make adjustments to your plans.  Don't worry about that – it happens to nearly every project.  But do remember to record all changes and new decisions – that is the important part!

Here are some hints to help you to choose a suitable project and avoid the snags.
