Assignment: Teamwork Analysis (TA) Engineering Strategies and Practice APS111 - 2023 Teamwork Analysis Getting Started This is an assignment that asks you to review your actions within your team, make logical arguments, and assess the efficacy of past decisions. This takes time. Do not leave this assignment to the last minute! Due : Value : Type : Week 12: Monday, November 20th, 11:59 AM 7.5% Individual Assignment Constraints  Must be 600 words or less. This includes headings and figure captions. It does not include text inside evidence excerpts. o Word count penalties: if >150 words over: -10%; if >225 words over: -15%; if >300 words over: -20%; if >450 words over: 25%; if >600 words over: -50%  Must have at least 2 pieces of additional evidence that support your claims such as from the Team Charter, internal team communication, Project Requirements drafts (including TA and CI feedback), excerpts from your Engineering Notebook (meeting notes, site visit notes, notes on teamwork, etc.).  Must not have any appendices. All evidence must be included within the body of the document.  Must follow the formatting guide  Must have a cover page  Must have a correctly formatted file name: TA_Student Name _Student Number.pdf  Must be a PDF uploaded to Quercus  Must have an Ouriginal report generated for the CI to see  Must be handed in by DUE DATE Purpose of This Assignment Reflect on how your team operated and determine one transformative situation that 1. triggered a change to your team charter and/or 2. expanded your understanding of teamwork dynamics. Determine why this happened to learn how to set up a more effective team charter and/or team in the future. More specifically you will:  Identify and describe a situation that influenced, or should have, a change to your Team Charter or your understanding of teamwork dynamics.

 Analyse the situation to identify how the outcome of the situation is related to the team charter and/or team dynamics. What change should you have made to your Team Charter or interaction with your team as a result of the situation? Note that this change can include instances in which the situation you describe was not addressed at all by any draft of the Team Charter, but you claim it should have been.  Based on the above, address what specific content you would advocate to be included in your ESP II Team Charter. Describe how that content will impact interactions with your team members to create a more effective team environment. As you write remember:  Logic is important : Use an outline to give structure to your ideas and see how you are connecting all the parts of your report together.  Language is important : If writing is not your strength, give yourself extra time to proofread and get feedback. The Parts of the Assignment 1.1 Introduction In engineering writing, you want to be precise. An introduction can explicitly state what you are analysing and why. Your introduction must set the scene for your situation by the component of your Team Charter that you are analysing. This section must include the following information: 1. A brief overview of what this report is for. 2. A brief description of the situation and your reasoning for selecting the situation In the realm of teamwork, understanding the complexities of group dynamics is essential for achieving success. This paper delves analyzes the transformative power of time management and role adherence within our team. By examining our experiences with last-minute hindrances and the importance of sticking to assigned roles, we aim to gain insights into their profound implications on effective group performance and seek new ways to improve to ensure future growth and success in Engineering Strategies and Practices II and beyond.

2.1 Description of the Situation Don't judge or analyze here - just describe the situation. Describe the actions taken by yourself and others and provide evidence that those actions happened and that you were there. This section must describe your transformative situation and discuss the actions you and others on your team took to influence the situation. Using a mix of writing and figures, this section must communicate the following: 1. Describe the situation itself: Summarize, through writing and evidence, the aspects you find to be most important to the situation. This may involve setting up the situation’s context if it emerged out of past events or if it is related to other course deliverables or work. Use evidence from your teamwork (such as excerpts from your Team Charter and Engineering Notebook; team documents, team communications) to confirm and describe what happened by adding them as figures. 2. Describe the actions you took in the situation: What did you do in the situation? 3. Describe the outcome of the situation: How did the situation end? Was it positive or negative? The situation at hand revolves around the completion of our Project Requirements Assignment and our challenges with time management and the lack of clearly defined roles. Throughout the assignment, our team encountered challenges in being productive during our time allotted time for the assignment and fulfilling our designated responsibilities as outlined in the Team Charter. This resulted in delays in completing the required tasks, leading to a significant amount of work being done until late at night, specifically until 12 am, on the day just before the assignment's due date as displayed in Figure 1 below.
