Leanbet Internship Standards
Guide for Interns
Welcome to the Leanbet Internships page!
Here you'll find a practical guide to using Google Sheets, with a detailed description of each document and the operating standards we use at Leanbet. This space is designed to support you on your journey and ensure efficient and organized use of shared tools.
Using Google Sheets: Project & Time Management
Sheet 1: Standard
The color chart indicates the standard to use in the weekly planner; see sheet "Wk_XX."
Below are the guidelines for preparing the weekly planner.
Sheet 2: PDCA
The PDCA worksheet serves as a database for recording all the activities to be completed and performed during the thesis period. The name PDCA stands for the Deming cycle, an acronym that stands for Plan, Do, Check, Act:
P (Plan): when the activity is inserted into the database it is in Plan
D (Do): the activity is switched to Do when I am doing it
C (Check): the activity has been completed and is being checked
A (Act): the business can be considered closed
-
No. = Sequentially numbered
-
PDCA = Enter the letter here based on the progress of the activity (P, D, C, or A)
-
Priority = Ranges from 1 to 4. The priority can be defined with the tutor
-
Theme = General theme of the activity (e.g., Literature, Benchmarking, Website Construction, etc.)
-
Source = Who delegated the activity
-
Problem Description = Enter the description of the activity here
-
Improvement Activities = Enter here how you intend to carry out the activity and any progress
-
Who = Who is responsible for carrying out the activity
-
Team = Other people supporting the activity
-
Registration Date = Date the activity is entered into the database
-
Deadline = Due date of the activity (by when it must be completed)
-
Notes and Links = Any hyperlinks (e.g., links to a website)
Example: During a telephone alignment, the tutor asks the intern to check a website he or she has identified. The intern must enter this activity into the PDCA sheet. The activity will be entered as P (because it was just entered), Priority 1, Topic "Benchmarking" because it is a competitor's website to be compared, Source: tutor acronym, "Problem description" should be entered as "Analysis of competitor's website for suggestions," "Improvement activity" should be entered as "Analyze website [Site name]," Who: intern acronym, Registration date: today's date.
SHEET 3 (and following): Wk_XX
This worksheet is a standard tool for understanding how to fill out weekly planners. It's essential for learning time management.
Important: Each week, a new worksheet must be created with the next week's schedule. The sheet name must indicate the week number. See the example image: I created the worksheet wk43_24 because I'll be planning the activities for week 43. (To copy the worksheet: right-click, "Duplicate").
How to fill out this form: Each day is divided into Planned and Actual, with each row indicating a 30-minute slot. At the end of the week (roughly speaking), you'll fill in the "Planned" columns for each day: you're essentially organizing the activities and days for the following week.
Once the day is over, you'll take stock of your progress by filling in the "Actual" column: if I've actually completed the activity in the designated slot, I'll color it green; otherwise, I'll color it yellow (if I was late) or red (if I didn't complete it at all, in which case I'll insert the activity I completed in its place).
Please note: Only include activities and planning related to your thesis. If you're not working on your thesis project for a day/half-day/time slot but are doing other activities, don't include them. For example, if you have a class for a full day, there's no need to include "Class." Instead, it's important to plan your thesis-related activities.
Sheet 4: Internship Hours
It's used to track hours worked.
Fill in only the "Date" and "Hours" fields; the top section updates automatically.
Sheet 5: Sending weekly summaries
Alignments will take place weekly, typically via phone call or video call. The tutor will send an appointment for the following week each week. If for any reason the call is canceled, an update is still requested via WhatsApp (voice or text) or email.
Use the table to track sent updates.
Sheet 6: Gantt
Thesis Project Gantt Chart: The Gantt Chart is a tool used in project management to track task progress and timelines. This tool is essential for learning how to manage projects.
The yellow lines indicate "Macro Activities" (also called Work Packages): these can indicate project Milestones, phases, or simply "Parts" of the project.
In the example shown, "Literature" is a section of the thesis project where you search for books or articles useful for your thesis.
The white lines indicate the activities (also called Tasks). Please note that Tasks are different from PDCAs: we don't need to include all the activities from the PDCA database in the Gantt chart. Let's take the example of Part B of the project, or "Preliminary Activities": in this case, the preliminary activities are those in which the intern begins to become familiar with the project, understanding its objective and strengths. In this phase, the tasks to be completed are mainly B1 "Project Study" and B2 "Analysis of Similar Websites." It's clear that Task B2 will include a series of PDCAs (see example of point "Sheet 2: PDCA").
The right side is visual and temporal: at a glance, it shows how we're progressing with tasks, whether we're on schedule or behind schedule. Let's see how it's filled out:
As you can see, each task has two lines: one for the planned task and one for the actual task (what actually happened).
The first thing to do is fill out the first line, inserting the letter "P" for the weeks in which you plan to complete that activity. Take the first task, "Finding books to read," and let's say we want to complete this task from week 1 to week 7 (see timeline above). Now, I just need to insert the Ps for weeks 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 (see image).
As the weeks go by, you'll need to fill in the final report line: the Gantt chart should be updated weekly, inserting a G, Y, R, or C for each task (in the final report line):
G: That week, I had planned to complete that task, and I did.
Y: That week, I had planned to complete that task, but I was slightly delayed.
R: That week, I had planned to complete that task, but I wasn't able to.
C: I closed the task.
