DUE SUNDAY:  

Your team was expected to discuss and collectively write a one-page Team Charter that details how your team will

operate, including the distribution of roles and tasks, dealing with conflicts, dealing with free-riders, and other issues

of governance.

The Team Charter will not be graded. It can be a very simple document that describes how your team will operate in

general terms, or it can be a more detailed description.  

 
 Team Charter  

Our team (#9) has collectively worked on choosing our company, La Teresita and discussed the 

roles and expectations of our team. Our team will operate though constant messaging on 

GroupMe and a weekly skype meeting on Sunday of each week. The stratification of the roles 

were chosen by the group members that believed they had the skill set, to ensure synchronized 

team work. Aida and Vanessa will co-lead for the group to manage our team priorities. Another 

member, Andrew will be in charge of delegating issues as well as communication, to implement 

proper communication within the group. Since we are only able to do e-communications, and 

Shifa lives in an opposite time zone from the rest of the group, she is in charge of making sure 

the group is on task, while taking on her own workload, and providing global perspectives.  

In terms of dealing with conflicts we will try to solve within the group by communicating and 

listening to the whole part of both of the members who are in conflict and then we’ll decide what 

exactly the group needs to do to solve the conflict and to create peace among the group, free 

riders and issues of governance our team will…. 

Our goal as a team is to not only work together seamlessly but also feed off of each other in 

order  

Communication​: Our group decided to use the GroupMe application as our main form of 

communication. Along with this, we decided on using Google Docs for the creation of our 

project material. As a group our communication policy is to set aside one hour each week that is 

completely dedicated to the X-Culture project. During this hour we will have constant 
communication in order to achieve maximum creativity. Throughout the week group members 

are expected to work and communicate with teammates in order to prepare for the hour meeting. 

This policy will result in clear communication throughout the group.
