Ideas for your u07a1 Planning for Action Checklist

Hi Everyone–

The purpose of this post is to help you complete assignment as thoroughly and efficiently as possible. The key ideas in this post

Assign each of the seven project deliverables to a member of your team

Assure that each team member submits exactly same plan in the same format

Include the presentation conference call on Monday of unit ten in your plan

Make your plan as short and simple as possible while meeting the three assignment requirements.

Here is my post:

Assignment u07a1 is an important part of the Group Project assignment. The assignment has three parts and calls for you to:

Complete a Planning for Action Checklist with your Group Project Team.

1. Define the core deliverables for the Team Project in a Word document. These core deliverables can be found in the Team Project Description in the Team Project Challenge section.

The deliverables are:

a. Establish and maintain trust and cultural sensitivity.

b. Identify effective tools and processes to support brainstorming, decision-making, scheduling and document storing and sharing.

c. Establish norms for using various communication channels (such as rich or lean; synchronous or asynchronous; one-to-one or one-to-many or many-to-many).

d. Run effective virtual team meetings.

e. Identify team roles and leadership.

f. Identify team ground rules and norms for personal interaction (for example, how decisions will be made, how conflicts will be resolved, and so on).

g. Maintaining timelines and schedules.

2. Identify and assign roles and accountabilities for individual team members, and provide a description of these assignments (one bullet per individual team member).

3. Develop a plan for meeting for the Team Project deliverables in the Word document that includes:

a. Schedule for team status meetings.

b. Timeline for key milestones.

c. Identification of access processes (for example, how you will connect synchronously or asynchronously with each other during the life of your team, building on information contained in the VTC Personal Profile that was developed in Unit 1 of the course).

d. Identify technical and other resources that your team will require to complete the project.

Post the Planning for Action Checklist in a Word document.

Each member of the team must submit a copy of this checklist to this assignment in order to earn credit for the assignment.

There are three parts to the assignment– but the first part of the assignment has been identified in the assignment itself. The first part is to define the seven deliverables, and those deliverables have been identified–defined– for you. It is important for you to include these seven deliverables in your plan to assure that you have a common understanding of the scope of your group project. You can complete this part of the assignment by simply identifying the seven deliverables in your plan, you need not expand on them at this point in your planning process.

The second part of the assignment calls for your team to assign the deliverables to team members. You will want to be sure that you identify the assignments for each team member in order to meet the second requirement. For example:

Austin Smith:

a. Establish and maintain trust and cultural sensitivity.

b. Identify effective tools and processes to support brainstorming, decision-making, scheduling and document storing and sharing.

Charlotte Jones:

c. Establish norms for using various communication channels (such as rich or lean; synchronous or asynchronous; one-to-one or one-to-many or many-to-many).

d. Run effective virtual team meetings.

Dakota Williams:

e. Identify team roles and leadership.

f. Identify team ground rules and norms for personal interaction (for example, how decisions will be made, how conflicts will be resolved, and so on).

Savannah Baker:

g. Maintaining timelines and schedules.

An important note: It is not acceptable to submit a plan at this point in the project that does not include assignments for all team members.

Occasionally learners will explain to me that they excluded a team member because that team member did not attend an orientation meeting, or did not respond to a courseroom mail, and so they are proceeding without that learner. That strategy evidences a basic misunderstanding of the purpose of this project. It assumes that the project is more important than the team.

The purpose of the Group Project is not simply to produce a PowerPoint and make a twenty-minute presentation. The purpose of the project is to give all learners the opportunity to experience and apply the principles of virtual team collaboration in a real-life, first-hand example of team collaboration. And a very important part of the challenge is to engage all team members.

If you have team members who are slow to engage in the project, consider that to be one of the challenges of the assignment. Call missing members of your team if you have a contact number; write if you have only an email address.

Once you have assigned the parts of the project in u07a1, those assignments will remain in effect, unless they are changed with the consensus of the group. If a team member does not complete his or her section of the project as agreed, that failure will not affect the grades of the remaining team members. Remaining team members do not have to ‘make-up’ missing deliverables that were assigned to others.

Remind yourself frequently that the quality of the learning experience as a team is more important than the PowerPoint, and that way you will not sacrifice the learning experience to the expedient of the PowerPoint.

You may understandably react to my comments by thinking: “but my grade is at risk in this project.” That is not the case: you will be graded on your contribution to the project.

The third part of the assignment calls for your team to develop a working plan for accomplishing the project. Include in the plan a calendar and schedule– be sure to include the presentation conference call on Monday of unit ten in your plan, as well as other milestones. Include too a schedule of your meetings. Include how you will communicate and meet with each other; where and how you will manage the versions of your project. If it is true that the devil is in the details– deal with the devil and the details now in your plan for action.

All members must submit identical versions of the plan.

To anticipate a couple of questions:

One team member may not post for the whole group. Each person in the team posts a copy of the team’s agreement in order to assure a common understanding of the plan and to earn credit in the assignment.

There is no formal checklist on the Duarte and Snyder CD– you can develop your own form so long as it covers the essentials listed above.

My strong suggestion is that you keep your format for the plan simple, that it is easy to read for all of your team members, and that you refer to this plan frequently to make sure that it is up to date and all of the important details of your project are accounted for.
