Team Formation

Team formation talks about a mission statement is a destination. It talks about how to gather a group of individual with different skill sets then other and speaking to the team about what they want to accomplish from the project. Once the mission statement is set into place the team need to come up with a vision of how to work together. "The Initial structures that you need to create are of three general types ways to divide and integrate work, to coordinate and communicate, and to make decisions." I found this quote important because it talks about these three structure that not only the team leader or project manager or any higher authority needs to take but everyone must comply to the same structure of communication and the effort to work efficiently and together. Everyone must put in  equal amount of effort to get the final product to be the way that will satisfy them.

"Working Group :- Strong, focused leader, individual accountability, individual work products, runs efficient meetings, Discuses, decide, delegates."
"Team :- Shared leadership roles, Individual and mutual accountability, collective work products, encourages open-ended discussion and active problem-solving meetings, discusses, decides, and does real work together." What I take from this is that the team must be comfortable with one another and must be able to communicate thoroughly and get there point across to everyone.

The challenges the design team faces is time management and the work flow of each individual. Even though you might have pick the brightest and the fastest people for the project among them all lack something that other might have. Even though you think you might know all you still are learning. Thats something different about design profession people tends to think once they got a degree and a job they know everything because they don't. You can learn a lot from your client, the community and others.
