Learning Team Goals
(May include project assignment goals, group process goals, quality level goals, etc.)
Our team goals are to get A's on our work; to be the best team in the class; to impress our instructor and our fellow classmates; to exhibit honest and open communications; to confront any conflicts ASAP; to allow grace when needed; to be committed to working hard; to be a guidance and support for each other in our personal and team goals. Each of us wants to work hard to ensure that all team members have an understanding of the class and assignment material. Each of us wants to complete an equal portion of the material and then collaborate on the final product as a team.

What are potential barriers to the achievement of these goals?
Potential barriers to meeting our goals are computer problems, family functions and sickness, business travel, and job demands. These types of barriers tend to affect an individual's communication and/or effectiveness in quality of work.
Ground
We agree that on the week before a presentation is due our team will meet at least once on a day other than Tuesday to rehearse our presentation and iron out any kinks. We agree that if a team member cannot make a meeting, they will make sure to phone the team during the meeting. We agree, as a team, that any teammate who does not attend or participate in a team meeting, without a reasonable excuse, will be given one warning. We agree that as a team we will sit down and discuss what is not being accomplished and what needs to be changed. We will communicate in a positive manner by listening to everything each person has to say. We agree to go over all assignments due and decide who will do what. We will agree as a team on the deadline to ensure that each member has clear information and no confusion will arise. We agree that if a team member does not participate, their name will not be on the log. We agree that each teammate will look over the completed team log via email and agree to its contents. We agree to send all emails to the entire team so no one is out of the loop. Our expectation for members arriving at scheduled team meetings is for all members to show up on time and to stay for the duration of the meeting. In case where we meet in person other than Tuesday, we do understand we all are coming straight from work and things
