Week 4. Group 5

This week was a great time to bring together the habits and traditions our team had already developed into a single plan. By going through questions of this week's learning module we have been able to establish rules and regulations the whole team must obey.

It was very important to create the points which would fit everybody's expectations, priorities and personal values. Thus, the key points of our plan are:

•punctuality regarding weekly meetings and deadlines;
•active participation in discussion;
•do your best towards achieving the common goal.

These key points of our team's strategy are supposed to lead us through the process of completing the project for this class. Besides completing the project successfully we realized that there are many other goals we all share: get experiences of a VT working process, good grades in class, learning to share leadership and find the best path to accomplish the best final result possible. We realize that creating a community within our team is important in order to be able to trust each other and express openly our opinions. So, we decided to have 10-15 minutes of informal discussion at the beginning of every online meeting.

In order to not leave any gaps in achieving our goals by letting someone else do the work for you, we've decided that "cruel punishment" will be applied for disobeying the rules and policies everybody agreed upon.

This week we created a good base for our future common project realization.
