9. Team Reflection 2/21/19
The main schedule that Team A previously set for due dates and deadlines has worked so far for the team. The meeting times of 1 hour before class on Monday’s and Wednesday’s have really been working well with the team considering we’re all free during that time. Although, not everyone can make it on days where extra meetings are necessary, those group members take on tasks that are easily done from home. Some of the roles weren’t making things flow easily within the team, so James and Owen’s roles were changed from setting reminders to updating the website and coding/making graphs. Overall, the original Team Working Agreement has served as a good foundation for Team A.
