Team Charter Review
Each team create a feedback file in your shared folder under the General Chanel on Teams. Name the file YYYYMMDD_Team_Charter_Review.docx.
The goal of this exercise is to make the Team Charter’s better and avoid common problems. Everyone is encouraged to add comments and suggestions to the “Team Charter Review” documents.
We will start with a team paring exercise. Your instructor has put you into the following teams of teams.
TBD
Review the team charter(s) for your team pairs. Have someone from each team team do a quick presentation of their charter to the other teams(s). Make sure you suggest changes to other charters and your own.
(Pick things to share at the end of the class).
Example Case Study: Not Enough Training Data
For this exercise your groups will review one of the case studies in the following page.
To get some practice, the entire class will review the first case study to give you an idea what you should be doing. challenges
Group Case Studies
In your individual groups, spend about 30 minutes to review the handout of the remainder of the case studies. You should have time to get through about three (3) of them (more is fine). We don’t want all groups to do the same studies so start with the case study in the table below. Spend about 10 minutes per case study by doing the following:
- Pick someone to keep track of time
- Pick someone to take notes
- Pick someone to read the case study out loud and have a discussion
- Discuss the questions at the end of the case study.
- Focus on the question “What could be added to improve the team charter’s team charter that may help avoid this type of problem?”
Sharing with the class
The instructor will have groups share what they learned with the class. The important outcome will be ideas you think are good to add to the team charter to help anticipate challenges that may occur throughout the semester.
Introduce Project Schedule assignment
The next milestone deliverable is the Exploration and Plan. Teams will use this time to read though the assignment and work on getting ready for the next steps.
