Team Performance

Team as a whole-
Team worked collaboratively with the members. Everyone tried within their best ability to
develop great communication skills and attitudes. The work was fairly distributed amongst the team
members and team members were also reliable to complete the project.

Team’s greatest strengths includes

Creativity:

Our team members applied creative ways to complete the project and make recordings
of the presentation as it was done through loom recordings. Since our schedules were
opposite so we could not sit and record the whole presentation at once. Aidan edited the
sound qualities, joined the whole presentation after part by part was recorded
individually. Besides that, the other members continuously suggested new ideas about
how to improve the quality of the presentation, project and needs assessment memo.

Adaptability:
The team quickly adapted to the changes required to make better quality of work. Besides that, we
have always responded well to constructive criticisms from the instructor through various situations.
If the work was not up to the standard, we made sure we worked double the times necessary to
resubmit the assignments after fixing errors. Also, despite the busy schedules, most our team
members willingly adjusted their schedules to be available for team meetings whenever needed.

Communication:
Our team Clearly communicated ideas and thoughts in team meetings and conferences.
Most of our team members are constructive communicator who discussed difficult issues
effectively on point.

The main problem that the team faced during the completion of the project is when one of the
member Aidan had to unexpectedly take off due to his medical surgery. His work was left
incomplete. To make up for his lost time, we had to work extra hard on our parts so we can
present a good project even without his contribution. Also, another major challenge faced by our
team was when I had to miss few classes due to a court hearing I had to appear during the
semester. However, as our team members were cooperative, so I was able to catch up to the
work.
Solution and strategies from the charter:
Missed Deadlines:
Throughout the project, we have implemented a few strategies from the tam charter regarding
missing deadlines and unacceptable work policy. There few times, team members missed the
deadlines or imply did not provide quality work. In that case, the project manager sent  reminders
to the team member.  If he/she did not respond within 24 hours, the project manager let the
instructor and other team members know about the situation.  For extenuating circumstances, the
project manager asked for other team members’ input on how to proceed.  
 
Unacceptable Works: 
 
If a team member submitted unacceptable work that does not meet the team goals such as leaving
out important information, other team members contacted the project manager. The project
manager ed contact the negative contributor with the list of concerns, and a new deadline to
submit the improved work. If the person was confused about why his/her work is of poor quality,
the project manager gave suggestions or any assistance regarding the assignment. If the
disagreement persisted regarding the quality of work, the other team members were asked to put
in their input to improve the work.

Self performance
I have gained so much knowledge throughout the course of the term, including things as: how to
write a proper research paper, how to organize a team project, and how to conduct research for
technical proposals . This course has helped me to improve my presentation skills for different
types of audiences present . Being the project manager for the team, it has helped me to collaborate
with my team members in more efficient manner. I have learnt how to coordinate, schedule within
a team and provide a solution within my best ability when we had a problem. I have learnt many
different techniques on how to write effectively, create visuals including texts, PowerPoints slides
for the writing. One of my most important goal was to improve my leadership skills from this
course. Working in this group project has helped me to achieve that goal as I was the project
manager for the project. I have learnt many ways to design presentations using a collaborative
process that includes coordinating tasks and schedules within a team. I have developed a flexible
process of generating and organizing information and ideas, I provided feedbacks and responded
my team members questions in a timely manner. I developed new problem solvng skills as
needed when working in the team. I have learnt to become an active listener and offer my
solution when my team mates needed help. All these tasks helped me to meet my personal goal
to improve my leadership skills.
My single most valuable contribution towards the organization of this project was to create hard
and soft deadlines which held the team members accountable for their parts of work. It helped
the team being more organized as everyone was on the same page when it came to working as a
team. As discussed on the team charter I was responsible for reaching out to the team members if
they missed a deadline or not submitted quality work. My role as a project manager immensely
helped the team to stay organized . In terms of content and delivery my contribution , my most
important contribution was to assign the roles of each researchers. I sorted out the tasks needed
to be done, the materials needed to be researched to the team members. After discussing with the
team memebers, I distributed the work which everybody was comfortable doing therefore, our
team made good progress when to to working towards the research and the project deliverables.

Member’s Performance:

Dwayne: Dwayne has made significant contribution towards the content and delivery of the
project. His best contribution for the team is communication with the members. He stayed
up to date with the assignment deadlines, called for meetings when needed. When the
project manager was not available, Dwayne took the leadership for the team and reported
to the project manager. His communication skills helped the team to stay organized, create
good contents for the team.
Score: 4/5
Reason: For his ability to communicate, organize, always meeting deadlines ,and leadership
skills I believe he gets 4/5.
Joseph: Joseph’s most significant contribution was to create his original criteria chart based
off his research. It improved the content of our project. No significant contribution from
joseph in terms of organization and deliveries but however , he was not a negative
contributor.
Score:3/5
Reason: Joseph has been punctual, sincere to complete his part of the assignment. He did
not miss any deadlines, but the work submitted was always the last minute, so we did not
have enough time to go over details. It is understandable he had to manage school a full-
time employment but the quality of the work was always average. That is why I believe he
gets 3/5

Aidan:
Aidan’s most significant contribution was to edit the audio recordings for the presetation.
That improved the quality of our deliveries. Aidan was very thorough with his part of the
research and created viable solutions on how to improve online learning. In this way, he
made significant conyribtions towards the content of the project.
Score : 3.5/5
Reason: Aidan was somewhat a negative contributor as he missed few deadlines. Other
team members complained to the project manager for his lack if contribution, and not
showing up on several meetings. After the project manager discussed with aidan he
improved the quality of work remarkably and everyone agreed he had the best content
amongst all 4 of us. That’ is why I believe he gets 3.5/4

Ayesha:
Score: 3.75/5
Reason: My single most valuable contribution towards the organization of this project was to
create hard and soft deadlines which held the team members accountable for their parts of work.
It helped the team being more organized as everyone was on the same page when it came to
working as a team. As discussed on the team charter I was responsible for reaching out to the
team members if they missed a deadline or not submitted quality work. My role as a project
manager immensely helped the team to stay organized . In terms of content and delivery my
contribution , my most important contribution was to assign the roles of each researchers. I
sorted out the tasks needed to be done, the materials needed to be researched to the team
members. After discussing with the team members, I distributed the work which everybody was
comfortable doing therefore, our team made good progress when to to working towards the
research and the project deliverables.
As a project manager I have slipped off my duties a few times due to personal reasons and other
involvements. However, I managed to keep my team organized together, and get our work done
on time. I was not a negative contributor. Have dedicated enough time to to provide quality
owkr from my part and behal of the team. Most of our assignments have received good grades .
However, I fully believe I could have provided more effort towards this project if I was not
distracted with other involvements. Therefore I give myself 3.75/5
  In your conclusion, you need to do two things:
o First, consider whether you would want to work with this same team
again on a future project--why or why not?
o Second, identify two to three lessons, findings, or strategies drawn
from this semester's work that you might apply to future collaborative
projects.
Be sure to discuss whether these lessons might be about your own performance or about
making team performances more effective
