Michele was a project manager so the most of planning was on his side. The first steps we took as a team were based on my plan – list of things in time we have to do and think about during all project. With my experience from previous project where there was lots to plan and prepare in time I was writing the list already during the brief. I found it very helpful later on as we could start planning work from the beginning (weekend) and because it took quite long time to Michele before he created full final schedule.

Timetable.xls – Michele's timetable
I found Michele’s timetable not realistic, with the difficult idea we decided to go for it was more about how we would wish to progress. Also separating the work for AM and PM, just made the timetable hard to use.
Michele was leaving planning for the last minute. For example we suppose to do shooting on Saturday and just on Sunday morning we started finding out what we need to bring and who has what and what time to meet. And all just via email. I found it too late.
I would expect that this would lead into the stressful atmosphere but in our case where we really enjoyed working with each other, the project was finished in time as much as was possible for us to do.
