Gantt Chart

Standard Methods of Communication

• We decided on one method of communication besides talking in class

• We use iMessage texts to talk about the project and update each other

Communication and Work Schedule

• Team members will agree to work in the shared workspaces every day in class to collaborate on work. Team leaders will take note of participation and report to Mr. Davis. 

• Team members agree to communicate about any concerns through text when not in class together. Team Leader will communicate with Mr. Davis and will report any team members who are uncooperative.  

• Team members will agree to abide by the schedule of assignments as documented by the team Gantt chart.   

• Team members will agree to use all class time given for this project to its greatest benefit.  

• If time is an issue, Team members agree to work on weekends and/or after school when deemed necessary.   

File Management Structure

• We created a Microsoft Teams to share our documents and created separate files for each component

• Under each component, we have files for each element and the documents are inside

• We use Autodesk 2022, Office 365, and Google Drive

Process for Making Decisions

• Respect everyone’s ideas even if you don’t agree with them.

• Discuss the pros and cons of the design decision. 

• Vote on whether to move forward with the decision. 

• If a tie occurs, try negotiating other ideas, and make compromises. 

• If all else fails, ask Mr. Davis, our advisor, for assistance. 

Process for Getting Through Conflict

• Team members will first try to settle the dispute between each other and seek compromises.   

• If a problem escalates, other team members will attempt to break up the conflict and force compromises.  

• If the problem persists, then the team will communicate with Mr. Davis about the problem. 

Accountability

• Team members will stay on track with the Gantt Chart, and if someone falls behind, then other team members will hold them accountable and help them catch up. 

• Team members agree to complete weekly evaluations and submit them to Mr. Davis for review . 

• Team members will offer help if needed and team members will ask for help if needed.
