42. Teams: WHY? ???

43. Why work in teams?   To complete a substantial project in time   More ideas - Getting unstuck   Combine strengths/skills in different areas   Backup - redundancy   Motivating - responsibility to peers   Modularity helps - accountability   Learning   It’s fun! (potentially)

44. What are the problems of working in teams?   People get in the way   Disagreements   Communication gaps   Overstressed – not living up to expectations   Inferiority complex   Fear of letting down peers   Dealing with messing up   Leadership troubles   Lack of trust- unbalanced contributions   Risk- of others not doing their share   Personality, working style conflicts

45. How to work in teams?   Social structure   Who sets the agenda/tasks/schedule   Who measures quality or approves results   What is the pacing- forms of coordination   Technology support   Email   Chat   Phone   Video-conference or phone   F2F
