Throughout this week, I have been working on developing ideas for our Storefront Project. We have finalized an idea: a do-it-yourself crafts-shop that will focus on candles, soaps, and paintings. The shop may also contain an area in which pre-made (by the shop staff) candles and soaps are for sale. I personally have contributed main ideas for the store, as well as worked on Trello.
My main focus this week was configuring Trello to my specifications and adopting it as a tool for keeping track of HR Reports. It has become an invaluable tool for tracking progress. Throughout the week, I made multiple reports for each person, and assigned a number (out of 1-5) to each person in each of five possible categories (I will list them from most important to least important): Motivation, Efficiency, Empathy, Leadership, and Grit. I also created a HR Report for the group as a whole to assess Productivity, Cooperation, and Collaboration/Idea Flow. As of today, I have completed at minimum three rankings for each person in all of the categories. Trello is working well and I have not had any problems. I would highly recommend Trello to anyone interested in keeping track of HR Reports.
I have also been using Trello to keep track of group deadlines and important contacts. As of yet, I have not put in any contacts, but as we gain contacts, they will be added. Some deadlines have been added, but not all have been added. This is a work in progress.
Lastly, I have been communicating with all of the group members to ensure all of the deadlines are being met and all of the work is being completed. I created a group text and asked everyone to tell me what they were working on, so I could input that information into Trello. So far, everyone has been very responsive.
Next week I hope to feel 100% comfortable and efficient with Trello so as to use my time most effectively. I also hope to contribute more actual content to the Storefront Project, rather than just keeping track of progress.

I'm glad you're finding Trello useful. It's got a number of great features, and it's also what real entrepreneurs and businesses are using these days, so it's good practice for the future. It takes a bit of time to master, but it sounds as if you're well on your way.
