ISTC2021 – Collaboration Exercise

There are typically 4 defined phases in the project management process in addition to the Iteration and Feedback component. These phases could vary slightly depending on the organization, type of collaboration tool, and type of project being completed. For this assignment, you are to collaborate on the completion of a document that in 2-4 pages describes a variety of collaboration tools (such as Sharepoint, Google Drive, Lync etc), and the advantages and disadvantages of each. Use the steps of the project management process as listed below:

· Starting phase

· Planning phase

· Doing phase

· Finalizing phase

· Iteration and feedback

In order to successfully finish this assignment, you will be required to complete the following tasks:

Find a group of 3-4 students with whom you will collaborate.

Create a document using Google Drive and give everyone within your group access to the document (note: you will need everyone’s e-mail accounts to do this).

Determine what information you want to include in this document – you may need to complete some preliminary research in order to proceed.

Determine who will work on what component of the document – be sure to use the tools within Google Drive to accomplish this.

Using Google Drive, write the document required for completion of this assignment

Once the document is complete, give me access to the document using the e-mail

Individually, (not as part of your team) write a short review of the collaboration process. Include a discussion of the ease or difficulties using Google Drive; the actual collaboration; and a comparison between using traditional e-mail versus Google Drive as a collaborative tool.

Give me access to this review document (as well as the team’s document).

Be sure that you are using Google Drive to its fullest extent in order to complete this assignment. The goal is to not meet as a team!

This assignment must be complete by the start of class on Thursday,
