M2A1 Milestone One: Team Charter and Concept Summary
For this milestone, the Team will submit the Team Charter and Concept Summary for the project.
The best performing teams often have one or two administrative leaders and a strong supporting cast. An administrative leader is someone who organizes the scheduling of meetings, deliverables, follow-up, etc. Every team member should contribute content to the project. The team should challenge each other throughout the project in an assertive, yet professional way. The team should hold each other accountable for meeting deadlines and completing their sections successfully. Do not wait until the week of the first deadline to begin substantive research and work on the project. Do not break up the project into sections to be finalized and completed individually, but complete individual research and approve each section critically as a team. Actively seek clarification of your project requirements from the instructor. Your goal is to deliver the best project possible.
