The purpose of this assignment is to reflect on team development and management in the context of a personal experience.
Choose a group project that you have participated in; this group project may have been a student project, a work project, or an extracurricular project (do NOT use the project completed for this class, the project you select should have involved a number of other participants). Respond to each of the following questions, in detail, as they related to the group project.
1. Begin the assignment by describing the project itself.
2. Analyze the development of the team working on the project in terms of the five-phase model AND the punctuated equilibrium model presented in the chapter reading. Which model does the best job of describing how the team evolved?
3. Analyze the group in terms of the nine situational factors that influence team development. What factors positively contributed to group performance? What factors negatively contributed to group performance? How did the group try to overcome the negative factors? What could you have done differently to overcome these negative factors?
4. Analyze how effectively the group managed meetings. What did the group do well? What didn’t the group do well? If the group were to be formed again, what specific recommendations would you make about how the group should manage meetings?
Instructions: Provide detailed responses to all four questions that are clearly articulated. Use professional formatting that is clear and easy to follow.
