Team Project Rules

1. Team Formation and Membership

   • Each team can invite new members or remove existing ones based on a majority vote and performance evaluations.

   • All changes in team membership must be documented and justified to ensure fairness and transparency.

2. Regular Meetings

   • Teams must hold at least one internal meeting every week to discuss project progress, challenges, and strategies.

   • A mandatory meeting with external clients or stakeholders must also be conducted weekly to ensure alignment and gather feedback.

3. Performance Evaluation

   • Each team member will be evaluated monthly based on their contributions, commitment, and teamwork.

   • Evaluations will be conducted collectively by all team members to promote a comprehensive assessment.

4. Project Management and Deadlines

   • Teams are responsible for setting their own deadlines for milestones and deliverables.

   • Progress toward these deadlines must be reviewed in each internal meeting and adjustments made as necessary.

5. Decision-Making Process

   • Major decisions regarding project direction, changes in scope, and resource allocation must be made collectively.

   • All decisions must be recorded in meeting minutes and accessible to all team members for review and future reference.

6. Conflict Resolution

   • Any conflicts within the team should be addressed promptly through a structured mediation process involving neutral team members.

   • If unresolved internally, conflicts can be escalated to the project advisor or faculty for guidance.

7. Communication Protocol

   • Clear and consistent communication channels must be established for internal team interactions and external communications with clients.

   • Respectful and professional communication is required at all times.

8. Accountability and Reporting

   • Regular updates and final reports must be submitted as per project guidelines.

These rules are designed to promote responsibility, fairness, and professional growth among team members while ensuring the project’s objectives are met efficiently.
