Reflection Session 4
The teams need a little help today to get the delegation arranged and allocate tasks with thin their team.
We found by giving time limits and deadlines they worked better with this limited time frame.
Once goals were set and they all know what they were responsible for off they went.
We reminded them also that the first port of call for assistance was with in their own teams. all team members bring expertise that they can share with each other.
On task
The teams divided and worked on their own components.
It was nice to see that they often asked the members of the action scenes to listen to the dialogue and asked dialogue teams to watch the action. They took on board the opinions and made changes if they were suggested. We had a few examples of smaller teams with member working in both parts. Multitasking at its best.
