2. Identify and describe team norms and expectations (e.g., how frequently will the team meet;
how often team members will communicate with one another).
Established expectations or team norms will consist of ground rules for individual
behavior, team cooperation, how the team will move forward, and how it will operate. These
norms were set in place to strengthen the groups positive practices and to serve as a reference if
undesirable behavior arises. In addition, these norms will serve as the groups code of conduct,
so that each group member will be able to anticipate how others will behave as well as what
behavior they will be expected to display. This code of conduct will aid the group in developing
team performance, cohesiveness, and coordination within our team.
Initial team norms for our group will consist of the following: 1) Be respectful of all
team members, 2) Be inclusive of all team members in all group communication, 3) Use of the
Conflict Team Competency Project Team Group Blackboard tools (which include group
discussion board, group file exchange and group email), as well as the Collaborate Workspace
that is embedded within the class will be our primary form of communication. Use of
FHSU/personal email accounts or cell phone contact will serve as a secondary communication
form, 4) Be constructive critics and be receptive to constructive criticism, 5) Be willing to listen
to others thoughts, ideas, and challenges, 6) Be willing to remain open-minded, 7) Be supportive
of each other, 8) Problems that arise will be examined by mutual discussions and resolution, 9)
Each member of the team is responsible and accountable to the team, 10) Team members will
come prepared to set appointments, 11) A time line for completion of phases/stages/components
of the project is as follows: Initial Report: Thursday, June 12th (5 p.m. CST), Chapter Prospectus:
Thursday, June 19th (5 p.m. CST) , Progress Report: Thursday, June 26th (5 p.m. CST), and Final
Team Competency Project Report: Tuesday, July 22nd (5 p.m. CST). Tentative dates for further
work has been presented to the group but not finalized.
On occasion, it has been noted that a new norm may emerge that was not previously
addressed. If such occurs, the group will revisit the initial list of norms and revise it to include
the new team norm upon discussion of all group members. Attached is Appendix A that has the
norms and timelines listed for easy reading.
3. Identify a timeline for completion of phases, stages or components of the project.
Each team member will contribute initial ideas for assignments topics at least one week
prior to the assignments deadline via the Group Discussion Board. A project manager will be
identified for each assignment. It will be the responsibility of the project manager to assign the
creation of formal responses for each respective topic based on individual understanding and
writing strengths. Respective formal responses will be submitted by each team member to the
Group File Exchange at least 4 days before the assignments deadline. Responses will be
formatted into a final working document by that assignments "project manager" and shared with
the team for final approval at least 36 hours before the due date. Once final approval is issued by
all team members, the project manager will be responsible for submitting the final version for
grading and will notify all members when submission has been completed.
Once one assignments deadline is met, immediate attention will be given to the next
approaching assignment to ensure each member has an appropriate amount of time to consider
assignment topics and prepare individual thoughts and ideas. We feel this active approach to
team work and deadlines will allow for effective team collaboration and best use of team
members strengths.
4. Describe how documentation, written work or other materials will be stored/archived.
For each assignment or task, our group has agreed to share initial thoughts on the Group
Discussion Board through Blackboard Collaborate. Once team members have had the
opportunity to review input and share ideas, we will then determine a course of action along with
assigned responsibilities. At this time, our group has consented to employing a project
manager system, where one person will act in the capacity of official archivist for final
submissions. In order to effectively achieve this for streamlined purposes, each team member
will provide word document files to this person via the File Exchange on Blackboard
Collaborate. Once all team members have made final changes or approved the finalized version,
the project manager will send the final document for grading. This agreed upon file exchanging
method will help prevent possible formatting issues that could occur for the archivist if
assignment data is sent and retrieved directly through emails or Blackboard message boards.
