Get to know your team and make decisions about your own rules.
Submit a PDF document containing the following:
- Introduce your team: give your team a unique name and provide a group picture of the entire team.
Given that this is a 100% online class, your the group picture should be a screenshot of video conference session (via Zoom/WebEx/whatever) showing the camera feed of each team member.
What are the strengths of your team as a whole?
- Introduce each team member: include a picture and a 100 word biography of each team member.
A biography should be professional as if you were introducing yourself to a prospective employer.
Identify one team member who will serve as the main contact for the instructor
- Discuss every aspect of the team agreement in detail and describe all your decisions in the writeup.
Your team agreement must include the guidelines for the following
(but feel free to add any other items you believe are important):
- methods of communication (email, phone, messenger, text, ...)
- communication response times (email, phone, messenger, text, ...)
- meeting attendance (when to meet, whether all meetings are mandatory, ...)
- running meetings (when, where, face-to-face vs. online, who takes minutes/notes, ...)
- meeting preparation (whether preparation is needed, what to prepare, ...)
- version control (what to/not to commit, content of log messages, ...)
- division of work (how to divide work, who will decide who does what, ...)
- submitting assignments (when to submit, who will submit, who will review the submission, ...)
- contingency planning (what if a team member drops out, what if a team member consistently misses
