In previous years, I have used the Double Diamond Method as a framework to guide my research projects. While it initially provided a clear structure, I found that it did not fully suit the way I naturally work. The rigid stages sometimes made the process feel restrictive. As a result, I found it difficult to adapt the framework to my own workflow, which limited its effectiveness in supporting my overall project.

Personally, I found this format difficult to interpret as it lacked clear direction and structure. As a result, I chose to create a Gantt chart to better organise and visualise my project timeline. Below is how I structured it and found this to be a much easier visual graph and could work my way down and keep to the schedule i created.
