Sally: Hi team, I never had a chance to thourougly work on the article like i promise. If anyone has done some good work, please post your comment in here and we will join efforts. Diemiso (talk) 12:30, 6 June 2012 (UTC)Hi Sally thank you for the link. i also haven't had the chance to go through the case study but i promise to go through it tonight and will start contributing to the discussion tomorrow.

QUESTION 1 Which roles do you recognize in the group portrayed in your case study? Belbin refers to different types of people in a team (see Chapter 12, page 274, textbook 5th edition)

QUESTION 2 Can your group identify which people are fulfilling the various roles, as listed by Belbin?

QUESTION 3 Earlier in that same chapter of the textbook, the authors give a common process that many groups go through from "forming," to "storming," "norming", "performing" and "adjourning." Examine your case study to determine where they are in the group process. Have they completed all the stages? Have they skipped any stages? Why do you think that? If they are in the middle of a process, where does your group place the case? Give reasons to explain your answers.

QUESTION 4 What kind of advice would your group give to the people in the case study to solve their problems? Give reasons for your answers. Sally Masipa: Before the project kick-off, the co-located teams should have agreed and contracted on minimum communication standardsto use or follow and have SLA in place. This would have forced them to commit and develiver on what they have been contracted for and their collaboration or contribution effort would have been noticed by other teams as well.The cultural issues would have been considered and the best approach would have been taken which accommodated all the co-located teams. Training issues would have been covered where required and arrangement made to ensure that relevant teams get such training in advance or have other arrangements.
