Post-Presentation Report
Due to the Team Charter, all of the “ice-breaking” was far behind us and our mutual trust was still high. We did very well working together on our previous project and had great results. We did, however, experience the “forming” stage for this project. We held back for a little bit to see who would take charge of our new assignment. I was the leader for the Team Charter and thought I would give my other team members a chance to lead.

The “storming” stage was the easiest transition for us. We all knew each others goal and expectations. We are not procrastinators and all have a strong desire to settle for nothing but our best. We accepted our roles and pressed forward. We experienced no power struggles. We should have changed our team name to “Group Cohesiveness” because that’s exactly what we became. Each member on our team is very different, so it would seem impossible for us to work together. This was not the case. We respect each other and became good friends.

Of course, we had a few bumps in the road, but those problems were handled efficiently though good communication (i.e. constant text messaging and frequent group meetings). This was the most enjoyable stage for us. The last few days of the project everything smoothly came together. We got so much done in so little time – we were pumping on all cylinders.
