Team Contract
This Team Contract (agreed upon by all members) contains guidelines on rules and procedures as to how meetings, communication, assigned works and final project would be managed and completed. Issues addressed are what we feel are vital to the success of this group towards the final project such as member’s roles, project management, etc and by following these we trust that the goals and objectives set as a team would all be achieved. Team Mission: To create a working website that meets and supersedes the client’s requirements within the project timeline. Team Member Roles:
- Aside from the meetings called upon by the PM (Gene) any team member that proposes a meeting would plan and lead the event.
- We would discuss in our meetings: first; where each member team is on the assigned work, order of tasks to be done based on the guidelines and due dates from the Prof and facilitator and PM.
- Every group member will always have a contribution on what part of the assignment or project they can do best.
- Team has decided that certain tasks like the Cost Estimation would be a collective effort, i.e. all group members would participate in this process.
- Meetings would be on a weekly basis (for now) until it is imperative that we meet more frequently, we would adhere and document our progress as various tasks on this projects are completed.
Project Management:
This is a crucial part of the project in this group and the weekly goals planned and set are thrived to be achieved always.
- Our timelines would to the best of our abilities adhere to, any team member who cannot achieve this and possibly need help from other team members should not hesitate to let the team know, or send a mail to the PM.
- Communication is primarily by the use of the blogspot (already in use), others include conference calls (for weekly meetings), WEBCT emailing system.
- Do not forget to reply all when replying/sending a mail and cc Prof. Kanabar and Patrick if and when necessary.
Rules and Guidelines:
- Strict guidelines only cause tension and stress but we trust that each team member thrives to deliver assigned works on or before due dates.
- We are hopeful that there would be no team conflict or between team members, but if this so happens, terms and consequences would be discussed at that time.
- Our plan is that we would be cordial, respectful, and considerate to everyone.
Project Procedures:
Project procedures have already been discussed (refer to the blog for detailed information).
- No one team member would be overwhelmed with a task; tasks are equally and evenly distributed.
- -While we set our tasks, and timelines we do so with the singular purpose of adhering to those set by the Prof, facilitator, communicated as reminders by the PM, and each and every member.
