Discuss with your team what purpose can this document serve. Eg., it can serve as a guideline to handle any dysfunctional situation that arises.

Tasks and Deadlines
In line with the goals identified, layout a tentative schedule so that the project is finished in time:

• Identify key steps required for this assignment and when it will be handled. This will involve determining how often you need to meet, along with the dates, time, and location (zoom or in-person).
• Break down the key steps into tasks to be achieved, as a group and/or individually.
• Assign deadlines to each task and who will be responsible for it.

Key Step/Task	What will be discussed/Action Item	Person Responsible	Deadline/Meeting Time
Policies, Expectations Discuss and identify what expectations you have from your group members and how any deviation from it will be resolved. Use the following points to guide your discussion. You can also add any more points you wish. Attendance in meetings : Expectations. What should a member do if they are unable to attend due to a valid reason? Unexplained absence: how will the team deal with it? Preparation and conduct of meetings: Any expectation prior to the meeting. Eg, documents/agenda to be shared before meeting. Identification of who will be responsible for sending meeting invites, deadline reminders, etc. Who will take minutes and follow up with a recap email with action items and the person responsible? Conflict Management Identify potential sources of conflict you think might happen. Eg., a team member not doing their assigned work. Identify how you will handle these scenarios as a team. Thinking points: eg., who will give feedback to the person involved? Will it be written or verbal? At what point will you involve/escalate it to your professor? Can a member be excluded from a team if all other members agree to it? Are there any procedures to be followed before such a decision is taken? Miscellaneous Think of how you all will work towards making the group a safe place where everyone can work together well. Eg., what about members who might be shy- how will you incorporate their inputs? Keep in mind your lesson on group dynamics
