Each team member is expected to submit their work by Friday morning (latest 11:00
Eastern time). Failure to do so will be reported to the instructor.

How will you manage team members who do not participate?
Team members are expected to participate in all class assignments, discussion,
meetings on the dates and times organized. Members who are unable to attend any
session or is unable to submit their assignment the date indicated will have to give
prior notice so that other arrangements can be made in advance.

leader?

delegate and to coordinate group assignments, should be able to represent the group
at all times, is willing and committed to see that work is done in a prompt, efficient
and timely manner at all times.

- Members not engaging in meeting

How do team members agree together that they will deal with these and other
conflicts?
- Team leader will call a meeting to deal with these matters at a time that is
convenience to all members
- If the conflict is unable to be resolve by team members, we would have to involve
the instructor for further guidance.
Section IV: Team Goals
This section should include your team goals.

What are your team goals
o Produce high quality work,
o Everyone attend our weekly meetings, and
o Every member of the group contribute to the overall production of the Team
resulting in all team members achieving an “A”

Potential barriers to the achievement of these goals are:
o Time zones presenting obstacles in timely meetings.
o Individual parts not completed on schedule, jeopardizing overall weekly
assignment.
How will you overcome these potential barriers?
o The Team will communicate regularly and deadlines are set with sufficient lag
time so that if another member is short or needs help, there is enough time to
compensate for the shortage.

The team contract must be signed by every member of the team before submitting it
individually to yourdropbox.
