ECO 372 Week 2 Learning Team Charter

Overview

In this course, your team will work together to complete a few assignments. This chartering assignment is designed to help you apply your project management skills to understand the scope of your project, then break the project into goals, tasks, responsibilities, resources, and milestones. The assignment also asks you to discuss and answer some questions that will lay the foundation for developing your project.

Beyond the Standard Charter

You will notice that this chartering process goes beyond your standard University of Phoenix Charter by helping your team create a project plan for team success by providing you with opportunities to define your deliverables, recognize the connections between the deliverables and other classroom activities, determine your timelines and milestones, identify each team member’s expected contribution, and answer questions that lay the foundation for building your projects.

Putting “I” in “Team”

Important to note is the section for defining learning team expectations related to participation, collaboration, communication, team contributions, assignment deadlines, and other considerations. Please take the time to discuss and document how your team will address each area and any challenges that may arise.  It is important to understand that we are “Putting ‘I’ in ‘Team'”. In short, we will recognize and reward individuals according to their contributions to team output, not according to their team membership. This means that individual grades may be different from the team grade depending on each individual’s contribution to each team deliverable.

Completing This Assignment

To complete this assignment, do the following:

• Review the Charter and Project plan.
• Review the weekly Learning Team deliverables.
• Complete the provided Learning Team Charter and Project Plan, including the following: team member contact information, project by week, learning team expectations, team discussion questions.
• The Learning Team charter must clearly identify a Team Leader for each week of the course that a team assignment is due.

Please make sure that your team charter clearly outlines deadlines for submitting individual portions of the team assignments as well as the penalties for those who do not meet these deadlines.  This is what will be used as when making decisions about lack of participation in the team forums.  So it is in your interest to have this as clearly stated as possible.  My decision will be based on what you have written in your team charter since this must be a team decision
