Team Charter (from Wolfe, Team Writing, ch. 4)

• Broad team goals (e.g., make original argument, presenting information accurately, following genre conventions of a given podcast type, making something entertaining)
• Specific and measurable goals (e.g., meeting or beating all deadlines for task schedule, making 3 segments in episode, incorporating three different kinds of music for tone, having 2 meetings with class as whole to coordinate tone)
• Personal goals (e.g., improving writing skills, learning how to use effects in Audacity on different audio files, having a productive and friendly group work experience)
• Individual level of commitment (e.g., low, medium high; agreeing that some members will do less work and others more with a grade boost for those doing more, if necessary, to help make this arrangement fair)
• Other information about team members that can impact work (e.g., high workload at job, caretaking of family members, health issues, issues with English so need more time to get writing presentable in ways you feel comfortable sharing, more time to understand technology and how to use it…none of this has to be specifically disclosed, but this can help inform how workload is distributed)
• How team will resolve disputes (e.g., talk until consensus, vote with simple majority, bring it to Prof. Libertz to decide, get anonymous classmate to decide)
• How team will handle missed deadlines (e.g., project manager emails reminder to late team member, they have 24 hours to respond, if no response take to Prof. Libertz but if response that is valid revise deadline; same procedure but if no response the team decides how to make up the work)
• What constitutes unacceptable work and how team will handle it (e.g., project manager says nothing and asks another team member to make it a bit better; project manager decides and gives team member suggestions; team reviews together and decides together with suggestions)
• Communication infrastructure. Will you use email? Discord? WhatsApp? How will reminders be sent, coordination for meetings, etc.?
