Desirable Qualities in Teammates • Students in previous CSE403 classes said they preferred teammates who were: • Motivated • Active, showing initiative and leadership • Dependable, responsible, following through on promises • Committed to team, putting team goals above personal • Open-minded, flexible (not stuck into original expectations, willing to be convinced) • Honest • Showing explicit and concise communication, articulate • Organized (good time management), focused • Creative • Competent, producing good quality work, has expertise in some area • Not necessarily “stars” CSE403, Summer'06, Section02

  8. Qualities that Managers Look for in Prospective Employees • Dependable • Trainable • Proactive “Star players” are often a red flag! CSE403, Summer'06, Section02

  9. Tradeoffs in Choosing Project Team(s) (A) One team of 8 vs. (B) two teams of 4: • A: learning about dealing with communication overhead • A: more people can more easily absorb possible changes to human resources • A: more flexibility in the workload • A: clearly no perception of competition, just collaboration • B:reference point to compare and learn from others • B: commonality of ideas • B: learning to scope down the set of features • B: learning to integrate with existing (external) systems • B: non-performers can’t hide as easily • B: presence of impartial peers (outside your team) to consult CSE403, Summer'06, Section02

  11. Team Conversations • It is crucial to establish a shared understanding among teammates and do so as early as possible! • See handout Questions to discuss: • What are your team’s success criteria? How will you measure/evaluate if they are achieved? • What would make you personally feel welcome and safe in your team – so that you can express your creativity and personality? CSE403, Summer'06, Section02

  12. Last Year’s Team Conversation Results CSE403, Summer'06, Section02

  13. The Next Project Stage:Lifecycle Architecture (LCA) Review • It’s when detailed planning and design are done. • An elaboration of the LCO review document • Requires that the same five elements be addressed • But more details and decisions are expected, and fewer open options • Use LCO materials as a starting point • But no reason to stay too close to it if your team wants to change/adapt some aspects • Changes between LCO and LCA are usually needed to improve focus and/or scope. • Stakeholders must be consulted to approve the decisions and the overall strategy… • … before moving forward to other phases.
