Team Ground Rules and Guidelines What are the general expectations for all members of the team?

I expect all Team members to participate and share information so we can learn and grow and complete the assigned work.

Expectations for Time Management and Involvement

(Participation, communication with the team, accessibility, etc.)

I expect all team members to feel free to reach out to me in the class as well as to the phone number and email I have provided.

Ensuring Fair and Even Contribution and Collaboration

What strategy will you use to ensure that all team members are contributing and collaborating appropriately? Describe the communication strategy you will use if a team member is not contributing and collaborating effectively. How will the team manage conflicts between team members?

If a member is not participating, I will reach out to them by email and phone to see if they are ok or in any harm and offer my assistance to help if I can. Things come up sometimes that are out of our control so being understanding is crucial.

Special Considerations

What do you, as a team, agree will make this team experience different from past team experiences?

I believe asking questions that one may not be clear about would help us grow. Many times, in the past I have been on teams and it came to my attention a member felt like their question was a dumb question but the truth is there is no such thing as a dumb question. Let’s all communicate with each other to reach our goal.
