Team Leader Training How to manage a team or be on a team (and survive) 540f07tltrain5sep6
Stellman&Greene – ch10:4 What did you learn? 540f07tltrain5sep6
Being a Team • Every member should feel that they are contributing • Every member should feel that others are contributing • Every member should know for what she/he is responsible • Every member should do all types of tasks 540f07tltrain5sep6
Team Building • Misunderstandings destroy teams • Many businesses spend much effort on “team building” • Teams work better with trust • Ice breakers • TTYT – each team member tells one thing good that happened this week 540f07tltrain5sep6
Icebreakers • For next four team meetings, start with one of the following (or similar) • Favorite TV show and why it is a favorite • Best first job after college • Last movie you watched • Favorite song or musical group • Mutter a lot, blame me, etc but do it! (I may ask) 540f07tltrain5sep6
Team Organization • Everyone does everything • specialized roles not allowed • “Controlled Decentralized” • problem solving as a group • team leader delegates responsibilities 540f07tltrain5sep6
Leadership • Multiple styles • find your own style • Lead - don’t be the whole team • you can’t do everything yourself • Lead - don’t follow • don’t let team members drive the team • Lead - don’t drive • don’t be a dictator • Build up your team members 540f07tltrain5sep6
Team Meetings • One of the most common complaints is that meetings are not productive • Be organized • have agenda for meeting • know due dates • have schedule at least till next presentation • set assignments 540f07tltrain5sep6
TTYP 1 • What do you (as a team member) expect from your team leader? • Or, what makes a great team leader? • Turn in – names and team number 540f07tltrain5sep6
Posting assignments/issues/decisions • Each team leader will post • A weekly list of tasks and evaluation of last week’s results • A semester list of issues and decisions (chronological) – this may change during the semester • Must be posted by noon on Fridays 540f07tltrain5sep6
Team Grades • Submit Weekly by Email on Friday • Starting Friday, Sep 14th • Justify grades less than 100% • On web – 0-10 pts (actual 0-100%) • Advice • Don’t Promise • Be harder at the beginning - it is easier to become more lenient than to become more demanding • Create a grading rubric – send me a copy (by Sep 13) 540f07tltrain5sep6
Presentations • Team Web page current 24 hours before • presentation form and CD • Dress Appropriately (coat and tie) • 50 minutes (Pres 1 - 25 min ) • introduce team • introduce project • present materials • answer questions • Rubric sheet 540f07tltrain5sep6
Presentation Goals • Experience • Communication • what is team doing • Evaluation and Direction • evaluate documentation and code • Feedback from Professor and TA • Grading is not based on correctness of ideas 540f07tltrain5sep6
Presentation Rubric Sheet • Each category • Short description of expectations • Points for different levels • Bold indicates normal • Paper copy needs to be circled and turned in 24 hours before presentation with CD containing all required documentation (DON’T ZIP FILES) 540f07tltrain5sep6
First Presentation • September 25-26 • Documentation - on team page and CD • Description of Project • assumptions, capabilities, limitations • Object Model (OMT) • classes, relationships, attributes • State Diagram • Projector • postscript files, powerpoint, rose 540f07tltrain5sep6
TTYP2 Discussion • What can you do to make your team better? 540f07tltrain5sep6
Non-cooperation • Talk with team member • Make sure assignments are clear and written • Give low weekly percentages • Make assignments non-critical • Request that grading is separate 540f07tltrain5sep6
Team member interviews • Every team leader needs to interview each team member separately. • Get to know each other • Find out concerns of team members • Determine strengths of each team member • Send me a report by Sep 13th that details the meetings and includes a summary of the team’s strengths and weaknesses (attach a word doc, no zip files) 540f07tltrain5sep6
Assignments – Tuesday, Sep 11 • Reading S&G ch 10: 1,2 • Journaling – I will post set of words to be defined 540f07tltrain5sep6
Be a successful team • Communicate • Organize • Plan • Succeed • Good Luck 540f07tltrain5sep6
