I Think I Can Look Back At Our Team 's Work With A Lot Of Pride

I was able to establish good relationships with a diverse group of contacts while working on the Assignment/Amendment project. I gained the trust and respect of colleagues and influence accomplishment of business goals, by implementing changes to the work-flow processes.

The Course Project is an opportunity for you to apply concepts learned to a real-life simulation experience. Throughout the Course Project, you will assume that you work as a financial analyst for Aero Plain, Inc. The Course Project is provided in two parts as follows:

The simulation was very interesting in that my partner and I were given an opportunity to think critically about how to approach to influence different managers and workers with different characteristics. By running the simulation twice, it allowed us to find out what actions have worked and what did not during the first run, and then second run allowed us to apply what we learned to complete the second simulation in a much more efficient and timely manner.

Which critical concepts sparked a connection for one or more team members and how will this information be applied in professional practice?

First, here is a summary of the development stages of a team. In the forming stage, team members come togetherand form initial impressions. They socialize in order to get to know each other and bond with other team members. In the storming stage, team members experience hostility and infighting over tasks and how the team works. In the norming stage, team members start to come together and realize what needs to be accomplished. In the performing stage, team members are well-organized and well-functioningand maintain a positive balance. In the adjourning stage, team members achieve closure when the project is accomplished.

The simulation was a pronounced learning experience, I relished every minute of it. Working with my team mates was the best part, our success came from team work and analytical decision making. Below are the key highlights of my learning experience.

“The defining attributes of a concept are the characteristics shared with other instances of its use in the literature” (Failla, 2014, p. 576). Simulation occurs when there is experimental learning in a safe environment. Simulations should be accessible to all learners, have a team leader, where roles are clearly defined, closed-loop communication is established and maintained, the sole purpose for gaining educational knowledge, and a post performance evaluation tool utilized not only to identify areas needing improvement, but to praise good teamwork, performance and skill set. Closed-loop communication is essential, as team members confirm the team leader is being heard, tasks are communicated effectively and correctly, and team members confirm

The first simulation was the Mount Everest simulation. Everyone on the team was assigned a role that had different jobs, and together the group had to summit Mount Everest. Climbing Mount Everest is not an easy task and the simulation reflected that. Real life problems arose and our team was

Overall, our group worked together perfectly. All of the members communicated any kind of ideas or suggestions openly throughout the process. If something could have been done differently to make the device more efficient or work in a different way, it was expressed without hesitation. Each member helped the other with anything from cutting paper or taping the shapes together.

There are many things I enjoyed about this project. I enjoyed that we got to work together to achieve a goal. Even though we may not always enjoy working together with certain people, we learn the skills we needed through this project. I also enjoyed getting to design something of our own, but also have other people’s idea to help shape the ending design. When you work together you all probably have some similar ideas, but sometimes

We have learnt a lot during this project and liked the improvement in our testing skills and deep concept related to these kinds of projects.

One of the interesting things about the simulation was that one did not start from scratch in the project. Instead, the simulation is already running and is in a certain week of production and distribution when the student enters into the stimulation. This means that the student gets both the benefit and the burden of work done by prior students. In my scenario, this ended up having a very detrimental impact on me, because I began with a tremendous backlog of product that my retailers had ordered from me. I cannot tell if the person before me was placing small orders or if they were

It is import to analyze the development of a project team as project has a dramatic effect on an organization. Most times it is a positive effect, but if the team or project is not successful, the project can have a negative impact on the organization, which could be financial, reputational, and even impact trust of those individuals that participated in the project. By analyzing the development of a team, it aids in building a strong foundation, which is needed for a successful project and will also aid in understanding the stages of the teams development. Team development can be analyzed through different models such as the five-phase model (Gray & Larson, 2014), which is also known as a process of directing and controlling a project

In addition, the system simulation activity also creates another opportunity for both the project and the implementation teams to assess whether all the company’s and the customer needs have been met by the new system. The simulation phase also offers the opportunity for training the project team using their actual data, as well as enables the project team to develop the user training material for the end-users (Wang, Chialinlin, Jiang & Klein, 2007). The target goal of the system simulation is to have every party to the project agree that the system has been configured in the way that bridges the initially existing unmet customer needs and company requirements (Chan & Rosemann, 2001).

had the same outlook and shared mentality, which ultimately helped build a successful and cohesive
