The main project component of this course will involve groups with voluntary Project Managers.
Project Manager Responsibilities
Coordinate team activities, meetings, and deliverables for the duration of the term starting approximately week 6
Meet with the professor at the start or during class to discuss individual group dynamics/activities or Cross-PM coordination
Meet with other Project Managers outside of class to conduct Cross-PM coordination
Ensure that team deliverables reflect the available time, resources, and given scope
Project Manager Selection
Early in the class, individual students should consider whether they would like to fulfill the role of Project Manager for the main group project that will start around week 6.
Project Managers will be chosen on a first come-first serve basis around week 6. The position is voluntary, but once a student has committed to the role, they must follow through to the end of the semester.
Cross-PM Coordination
Because the artifacts each group is creating will have similarities, an opportunity to compare/contrast, coordinate, and/or educate is present during the final presentation. This will be achieved by meeting and coordinating with other PM's at least twice during the term. One of the PM's should also report back to the professor (and place in the MyCourses Dropbox) with meeting results/ strategies to be employed.
Project Manager Deliverables
A roster of potential team members, participation in team member assignation negotiation
PM Peer Feedback survey, similar to team member's ratings of each other. This form will rate other PM's performance and will contribute to your peer feedback score.
