Project Management: Explain a situation encountered in the completion of a project

Think of a recently completed group project with which you have been involved. This project may have been a student project, a group project, or an extracurricular project.

Briefly describe the situation, and choose one of the following:

* Examine the development of the team in terms of the four-phase model. Does this model describe how the team evolved?

* Examine the group in terms of 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?

* Analyze how effectively the group managed meetings.

* What did the group do well?

* What didn't the group do well?

* If the group were formed again, what specific recommendations would you make about how the group should manage meetings?
