Meetings:

2. To achieve a common agenda before each assignment and have everyone comply with the
end result before it is handed in
3. To create a good culture where everyone feels “at home”

Decision making:

1. Always have a time for brainstorming where everyone can speak up their mind, before
taking a decision.
2. Ask all group members if they can support a decision before it’s made.

Conflicts:

1. If there is a conflict between two members or more, the issue should be solved through
discussion within the group if the group if affected by this matter.
2. Personal conflicts between members are best solved outside of group meetings since they
do not concern the group itself.
3. Regard conflict as normal and as an opportunity for growth.
4. Breach of contract results in providing fika for all group members.

Deadlines:

1. Every assignment starts with setting a preliminary deadline when the assignment should
be finished for a final review done by the group members
2. Every assignment is to be evaluated halfway through. At this point the members sum up
what has been good/bad, what needs to get done and improved, and a final deadline is set
for the assignment.
3. At the end of each assignment, all members have to perform an individual evaluation of
the work done, and also come up with both positive remarks and critique. This will allow
for better teamwork in the future.
