Team Dynamics

1. team leader

Who is your team leader and how did that person become team leader? Maybe you have

a leader for each section of work or have decided to swap leadership in which case record

that decision here.

We have not formally assigned a leader to our team. We divided the workshop into sections where each person contributed and took the leadership and responsibility on. However, San has been the main driving and organizing force and has taken the initiative to lead many of our team meetings. This greatly facilitated our work and contributed to effective and productive meetings.

2. chair for team meetings

Who will chair team meetings and how did that person become chair?

Will you rotate this role?

We have not formally assigned a chair to our meetings and each person had the responsibility to lead the work on his or her section. However, as mentioned, San has taken on the role of leading and chairing many of our team meetings. Her excellent organizational and collaborative skills have made her a natural leader of our group.

3. minute taker

Who will record the facts conclusions and actions as they occur in team meetings and how did that person become minute taker? Will you rotate this role?

Each team member took notes and contributed to the meeting and then we put together the minutes and action plan.

4. logistics

Who will be responsible for booking rooms and keeping the team informed about

team meeting locations?

We have had our meetings either by phone, online or at the library so there was no need to book rooms. As the leader of our team, San has helped to coordinate many of our meetings by email.

5. Meeting time, location, and length

When and where will you try to hold team meetings and how long will these meetings be?

Jan 25^th, 6-7pm, Skype

Feb 4^th, 6-8pm, DFCM

Feb 25^th, 6-8pm, DFCM

March 2^nd, 6:30-7:30pm, Skype

6. Communication methods

How will your team stay in touch outside of meetings?

Through email and text message

7. File sharing and storage

How will you share files and where will you store files? Will you have a template for various documents and who will create this?

We email files to each other and put dates at the end of files to ensure we know most recent versions

8. File naming convention

How will you name files to ensure versions, numbers and team members inputs

are recorded?

For PPT presentation: File name_ initials of last person edited_ version #_date.ppt

9. Decision making procedure

How will your team make key decisions? Will you have a formal procedure?

Our group will come to decisions informally.  We will discuss various possible options, determine the benefits and challenge with each option and come to a group consensus ensure to respect each team members input.

10. Poor team member performance

How will you handle poor performance for example, in terms of meeting attendance,

standard of work, or missed deadlines? If your course has peer assessment then maybe

you could create a system to utilise the peer assessment in a controlled manner.

At the beginning of this project we have all agreed that we wish to produce a high quality presentation.  Members agree to communicate challenges they may have completing their aspect of the project early in order that other group members may come to the assistance.  We all understand that we have other demands in our life and we will make appropriate accommodations when necessary.

11. conflict resolution

How will you reduce conflict in your team? How will you resolve any conflicts that arise?

Confliction resolution will be done through mutual respect.  As a group we will explore all aspects of a disagreement.  If through this exploration no consensus can be reached than the group will vote and we shall move forward with the majority wishes
