Project Managers and Tech Leads: Begin work on your collaborative project by doing initial research to familiarize yourself with the technology or technologies for which you'll be creating documents.
Interpersonal and Communication Leads: Seek out input from your group and begin drafting a brief list of guidelines or ground rules that your group can use to help ensure a successful collaboration. As you create your list, consider some or all of the following questions:
- How will your group make decisions, particularly when members disagree?
- How will your group handle interpersonal conflict?
- How will your group ensure that everyone does their fair share?
- How will you encourage effective participation among the group? What does "effective participation" look like for your group?
- How will your group set and manage deadlines?
- What expectations does your group have for workflow (management of documents, pacing of work, etc.)?
- How will you ensure delivery of a quality product to the client?
Per our clients, you will be using a Yammer group to manage most of your communication, so you won't need to decide on a communication technology to use. However, you may want to refer back to Chapter 4 (Writing Collaboratively) as you create your list.
