Team Charter & Task Schedule

____, Meredythe Durckel,
____, _____

Proposal
The purpose of this charter is to outline the goals, steps, process, and methods of
creating a document response designed to satisfy Munger’s Case Study #2. The format
will be an email to present clear argument for revisions and exceed the format and
guidelines of Project 2 criteria. This will be accomplished through utilizing textbook
resources, technical document features such as chucking, and the use of
communication technologies in an online group setting.

Team Charter

Broad Team Goals

Communicate within the group to develop an appropriate response to the Munger’s
case and reflect the information gained throughout the project. Meet all deadlines, keep
communicating and collaborating, helping each other revise and edit through the writing
process. To make sure that everyone participates in the project and has a specific
designed task.

Measurable Team Goals

Find the best way to communicate with every member and determine a schedule that
works for every individual. Disperse a fair project course load to accomplish an
appropriate response to the Munger’s case that suggest revisions for the paper.
Reflect what is learned by reviewing the case and reflecting the effectiveness of the
method of communication used by the group.

Personal Goals & Individual Commitment

- We are all equally committed and make sure to consider every idea that is
suggested for the case and communication methods.
- Crystal: To expand my thinking on the ways groups can communicate and
improve my communication skills overall. This includes my level of
professionalism and clearity.

- Meredythe: To improve my teamwork and communication skills through meeting

short-term deadlines that produce long-term results. To improve document
design through writing process and use of technical document features.
- Erica: Everyone should try to meet all of their individual deadlines. Help each
other when needed and don't be afraid to ask questions. Assign appropriate
amounts of work to each person, so that the tasks are balanced as equally as
possible.
- Taylor: My goal is to increase my productivity level in the group setting, I want to
take on more work, and become a better communication to all my team
members. Lastly my goal is to edit the grammar, punctuation, and style of
Project two.

Communication Management Methods & Collaborative Technologies

- Use email, Google Drive, and GroupMe to communicate. Email will be used to
disperse all important information and other questions (if they are not in the
Google Drive)
- GroupMe can be used for more instantaneous communication and advice.
GroupMe is an app that our team uses so we can communicate directly to each
others cell phones.
- Google Drive is the primary method of tracking document revisions and
compiling individual tasks into one cohesive document. This allows for
constructive criticism to improve overall document design.
- Concerns: Each member of the group has their own time schedule which makes
it hard to communicate the final project. Also, each group member may have
their preferred form of communication.

Conflict Resolution, Missed Deadlines, Unacceptable Work

Impasses will be resolved through “majority rules” or “consensus” method to resolve the
matter quickly due to the time constraints of this project. This process allows each
member to present his or her side of information, followed by a discussion, without the
use of members outside this team. Deadlines will be enforced through communication in
GroupMe to check in with a group member that misses a deadline. The assignment will
be completed by the following day in order to minimize the grade damage.
Unacceptable work will also be addressed in a discussion through all group members. If
a group member continues to submit unacceptable work, the instructor will be notified
and a grade penalty may occur due to the increased burden to other group members.
