I am personally a fan of the 'expanded capacity' approach of working holistically, with individuals able to assume aspects of other roles. A centralised repository of work as suggested by Trish, for even notes and references, seems like a realistic way to achieve this approach in this particular setting.<br />Previously, when you worked this way, did you find that 'tasting' and understanding one anothers'roles from within those roles helped understanding and appreciation of fellow team members' roles or did it have the opposite effect?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01774024751398915881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2305098868907621084.post-50244791831919176772013-05-07T05:52:09.164-07:002013-05-07T05:52:09.164-07:00I agree Dave, that a holistic approach assists in ...I agree Dave, that a holistic approach assists in keeping everyone together and the project running smoothly. As you say we will have designated roles but I can imagine that enabling the boundaries to blur when necessary will help smooth out phases where someone is struggling and can't keep up because of work or private commitments. <br /><br />Pleased to hear you've led a team! We'll be needing some leadership :-)<br /><br />I also believe that establishing an efficient mechanism of communication will be a priority both for synchronous and asynchronous communication. It will depend on what phases we are moving in and what kind of decisions need to be made as to how we decide to cope with this.<br /><br />I think we may need to create a central space for depositing resources and making quick summaries about them and their relevance to the project. I could imagine a Wiki would be a solution for this, either through the OU or Google Drive. This would enable us all to have an immediate overview over what is being collected and the reasons behind it without having to engage in too much tweeting or mailing. <br /><br />TrishPatricia Danielshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12162035245232809089noreply@blogger.com
