N
‭and adapt to this type of professional collaborative environment.‬
‭Other Concerns:‬
‭ aria Al-Rabbat (team manager)‬‭:‬‭I am concerned about‬‭managing team dynamics and‬
M
‭ensuring that team members collaborate effectively, communicate well, and resolve conflicts‬
‭constructively.‬
‭Shahd Darwish:‬‭I am concerned about conflicts between‬‭team members and meeting team‬
‭deadlines that could conflict with my own.‬

‭ ujane Ahmed‬‭My biggest concern is our team falling‬‭behind and not staying on task for the‬
L
‭duration of the project and then having to rush to put things together towards the end.‬

‭ amia Afrin:‬‭I am concerned about maintaining high‬‭levels of team engagement and‬

S
‭motivation, especially in the times of long-term projects.‬

‭ oor Al Thani:‬‭I am concerned about team members not‬‭presenting acceptable work or‬
N
‭missing project deadlines as it might put stress on the rest of the team.‬

‭ ommunication Strategies:‬‭The team will mainly utilize‬‭two communication means:‬

C
‭Social Media (WhatsApp):‬‭Utilized for reminders, arranging‬‭meetings (on‬‭Zoom)‬‭,‬
‭Google Drive:‬‭Regarding working on assignments, a‬‭Google Drive is shared amongst‬
‭team members to organize all content and assignments for this course in a mannerly‬
‭order and designate one area where we could all work simultaneously.‬

‭ onflict resolution:‬‭In the event of a conflict arising‬‭among team members, they are‬
C
‭encouraged to address and resolve the issue individually within one day. If the conflict‬
‭persists beyond this timeframe, the team manager will intervene in an attempt to‬
‭facilitate a resolution. If the conflict continues to escalate, the instructor will be notified‬
‭and may become involved.‬

‭ issed Deadlines:‬‭To ensure timely project completion,‬‭the team has established a‬

M
‭system of soft and hard deadlines and a Gantt chart. The soft deadline is set a few days‬
‭before the hard deadline. Team members are expected to submit their work by the soft‬
‭deadline as a preliminary draft. If a soft deadline is missed, team members are required‬
‭to inform the team manager for support and guidance. If a soft deadline is missed a few‬
‭times (less than three times), the team will convene a meeting to explore strategies for‬
‭improvement. If a team member consistently demonstrates a lack of effort and fails to‬
‭meet soft deadlines (more than three times), the team manager and the member will‬
‭initiate a one-on-one discussion. If necessary, the course instructor may become‬
‭involved. A Gantt chart is prepared to streamline all deadlines and prepare team‬
‭members accordingly.‬
