Team Charter for Team # 4

I. Purpose

The purpose of this team is to grow as a group, refine our team member roles, gain
experience we can bring to our future collaborative groups in the future, and to learn
about the social processes in organizations. While this is a simple definition, we are
gaining valuable experience that we can apply to our future team environments.

II. Roles

The current roles of the team are as follows: Host, Facilitator, Jokester/Assessor,
Challenger, and Submitter.

No additional roles need to be added to the already existing roles. We all have a
good understanding of the roles currently in place, and we will continue to rotate
them as the course progresses.

III. Expectations

Communication (outside of scheduled meetings):

E-mails, texts, and phone calls. If someone has a question, idea, or anything they
feel is important they are expected to ask.

Communication and Participation (during meetings):

Everyone should generally contribute. We need to share ideas and efficiently

discuss assignments for that particular module. Everyone is expected to speak up,
 and share their thoughts respectfully. Accept any possible constructive criticism with
regard to assignments. Communicate only by speaking and avoiding outside
communications during the meeting that would leave any parties out.

Preparation for meetings and assignments:

Just do the work you’re supposed to do. Come to the meetings generally prepared
with a good attitude and everything should be fine. All group members participate
and contribute to discussions. All assigned readings and notes are to be accomplished
before each meeting, respectively.

Team Organization:

What we have now is okay as far as organization goes. Only having four people
could cause some task saturation, but we divide up the tasks pretty well. Each
meeting will have an agenda that must be followed. Meetings will be scheduled as
they come at times that work for everyone.

IV. Policies

1) Missed meetings: Members cannot make up a missed interview (Module 6) or

missed sharing of teammate assessments (Module 7) meetings. For other
meetings if absence approved by Dr. Chanley, team members can earn up to 75%
of the available 50 points for one (1) missed meeting. Define what actions that
team member needs to complete and how those actions will be documented for
the team. The team verifies required action was taken to Dr. Chanley.

The group member that missed the meeting will have to watch the recorded
meeting, take notes about what was discussed, add their input, then email the
notes to Dr. Chanley.

2) What are members expected to do if they do not come to meetings fully prepared
and how will any required action be documented to team and to Dr. Chanley
 Bring notes to the next meeting indicating they read and/or watched the
previous meetings required material. If problems persist, formal documentation
of unpreparedness can be sent to Dr. Chanley.

3) What other behaviors or problems do you want to specifically address. These can
be combined into as many distinct policies as the team prefers.

Make sure we all show up to meetings on time and prepared. Use group text
to make other group members aware of issues with attending the scheduled
meeting.

V. Operations

i. Decision Making

The team should make decisions collectively. Discussing the best course of
action for the team to take on a particular assignment, then coming up with a
solution everyone agrees on is the best way to do this.

ii. Conflict Resolution & Problem Solving

Having open and honest communication should alleviate conflicts we’re

having. Also listening carefully to what each other has to say is important.
Sometimes, if two members are having a hard time, we can assign a moderator
to keep the peace while conflict resolution takes place.

iii. Process Improvement Procedures

 Taking notes for each meeting is an important way to keep track of
progress. Quantifying and assessing progress will be easier as the course
progresses and more meetings take place. Also, reviewing any feedback
provided by Dr. Chanley each meeting.

iv. Changes to the Charter

Revisions will be made as made necessary and determined by members.

The team will decide what revisions should be added or removed to the
document and sign the new version. As the team evolves, so will this charter.

VI. Timeline and Project Plan

Scheduling of meetings earlier in the week and allowing time in case rescheduling
is needed. Created a consistent schedule so everyone is aware of meeting dates and
times.

Each member is responsible for reviewing all assignment instructions and due
dates in preparation for each meeting. All assignment instructions and due dates will
then be discussed and confirmed at each meeting.

VII. Shared Accountability
