For my team throughout the past nine weeks in this class, things have been going pretty well. I would have to say that the strongest part of this team is the chemistry and relationships built throughout the past semester, each member of the team has been able to work very well within small groups as well as with the group as a whole. Although no group and no individual is perfect, even on our roughest days we have been able to get past whatever else is going on in our lives and classes and been able to pull it together to work as a great group. Everyone has participated greatly and has brought their own skills as an individual to the table and has been able to make teamwork a breeze. As far as improvements go with our team, I would have to say that participation is always key, and that any small form of participation or feedback from team members, no matter how small can save a team from any kind of trouble or having to work so much harder for a simple goal. This class has been very fun and the closeness of group members has made some good friendships between classmates, but that is also a recipe for getting a little too social in class and getting off topic with friends, if group members were just a little better at differentiating between class time and fun time, things would go much smoother and faster in class. I believe our team needs to spend more time on the series game and take it (no pun intended) more seriously, as it is a big assignment and there is a lot of work that it will be requiring to complete. The three biggest things we need to do to get ready for our beta test is the completion of the game board, the solidification of the game rules onto paper, and a day to work out any kinks in the entire plan to make sure all operations are flawless and that we are ahead of the game when it comes to being set for our beta test.
