Question

Deliverable Consider the following scenario: You are a human resource manager for a national organization with offices in all four U.S. time zones. You have been tasked with facilitating the launch of a virtual team that will collaborate on an important and highly confidential project. Team members will come from all major business units of the organization, and will be made up primarily of senior managers and directors. The team is expected to have its orientation meeting in two weeks, and will present the finished project to executive management 90 days after the orientation meeting. You are expected to provide this team with guidance that will help with the launch. Your deliverables for this task are to provide specific guidance in two areas: 1.Recommendations for the team charter: Offer guidance on the development of this team's contract as a group. What ground rules would you recommend? What counsel do you have to offer in terms of team members setting expectations with each other? How do you recommend that conflicts be resolved? How do you suggest the team leadership concerns be addressed? 2.Recommendations for communications and collaboration technology: Recommend technology choices that will support this team's virtual collaboration. Be specific in your recommendations about the use of synchronous and asynchronous technologies. Highlight the advantages and disadvantages of each, and give examples of the appropriate and inappropriate uses of both types of technologies. Provide recommendations of technologies for brainstorming and problem-solving. Offer advice on shared work platforms that are appropriate to the technologies. For example, what form of communication is best for resolving conflicts? Write an assessment that offers your thorough and detailed recommendations for each of these two topics, while being as concise as possible. Support each of your recommendations with references from your research. Formatting Requirements Your assessment should contain two distinct sections: Team Charter Recommendations and Communications and Collaboration Technology Recommendations. Include the following: •Title page. •Introduction (include a brief overview of the scenario). •Team Charter Recommendations: Executive Summary (1–2 paragraphs). Recommendations. •Communications and Collaboration Technology Recommendations: Executive Summary (1–2 paragraphs). Recommendations. •Conclusion (in 1–2 paragraphs, summarize your recommendations and the results you expect). •References page, including a minimum of three research resources. Follow APA guidelines for formatting and citing your resources. There is no exact number of pages required for this assessment. Focus on fully addressing the assessment requirements. Note: If your paper is only two pages in length, you have not fully addressed the assessment; and if it is twenty pages, you have written far too much.

Explanation / Answer

1.Recommendations for the team charter: Offer guidance on the development of this team's contract as a group.

Team charter must comprises of a team lead, project manager, technical expertise members, executioners, data analyst.

All must be aware of the objectives and their own deliverables. So a clear cut project description with defined roles and task associates is given to each members to understand the hierarchy and milestones with their own deliverables.

? What counsel do you have to offer in terms of team members setting expectations with each other? How do you recommend that conflicts be resolved?

As a project facilitator every week a project update meeting will be conducted for half an hour, where all the project members can disuss about the progress and their concern

Conflicts can be resolved through better communication channels and descrbed heirarch and responsibilities. So time gap or un necessary dependency can be killed through proper communication networks ( e-mail formats, telephonic discussions, MoM cascading etc) can be followed as a best practise.

2.Recommendations for communications and collaboration technology: Recommend technology choices that will support this team's virtual collaboration.

Though virtual collaboration can be incorporated it is best to have synchronous mode of technology where users can interact with the team and can resolve the issues on real time basis. Proper network coverage’s and technology support has to be ensured to connect with various teams.

Executive Summary: ( Team & Collaboration)

As the team involves many higher officials and mid level and the executives, it is not easy to come up with level of collaborative environment. But if the team has given specific task orieneted objectives I am sure all are professionals to show their skill sets to the best and seek help from toehrs an show the team spirit to the right level. First communication channels have to be made very compact and easy to manage things. Conflicts resolution has to be happened on real time basis and intermediates must take initiatives to resolve this. Mini milestones have to be setup to identify the gap and track the overall projects. PERT, CPM diagram can be sued to re structure the necessities and identify the value and non value added things. It helps to identify the dependency level as well.
