Purpose:
The purpose of this memorandum is to inform you of our team action plan decisions. This memo establishes a group agreement on roles, collaboration, rules, and responsibilities for the upcoming assignments.
Plan:
1. How will leadership responsibilities be handled within the group?
Our group would like to divide the work up evenly between group members. That way it is fair, and members won’t feel like they are doing more or less work than others. If one group member is struggling to meet the deadline, other group members will take leadership responsibility and step in to help them get their portion of the work completed on time. In the end, we will work as a group to compile all information to make sure the project portions make sense …show more content…
Each group member will take part in two presentations.
3. How will you resolve disagreements that may arise while working on the project? How will your team make decisions: By majority? By consensus?
We can resolve scheduling conflicts by using technology such as email and Google Docs. We can resolve work ethic issues with communication and encouragement. If one member isn’t doing their work, other members will volunteer to help them. Other conflicting issues such as decision-making and project content will be handled with a majority vote. If there is an obvious problem, it will be brought up to the group as a whole and solutions will be brainstormed and the decision will be made when the majority of the group is in agreement.
4. When and where will you hold meetings? Can you hold meetings if all team members are not present? How will you inform team members of what occurred at meetings if they were not …show more content…
We have not yet determined a suitable time for us to meet that fits best with our schedules. If one group members cannot be present, it is still important to hold meetings. In the case that someone is absent, someone will take meeting minutes and forward it out to the group in an email. If our schedules do not align and we cannot ever hold in-person meetings, we will communicate through technology including email, GroupMe, and Google Docs. It will be very difficult to find a time to meet that will work for all of us since we have other priorities and commitments that take up a lot of time. One of us is a student athlete, one of us has an internship, and others work jobs on set schedules.
5. Set your team’s absence policies. Define what “absence” means for your team. Are all absences equal? How should a team member who’s going to be absent let the team know? How far in advance does your team need to know about an absence? How many absences from one team member are too many? What are the consequences of too many
