How will the team honor the strengths of the individuals?	Ensure that everyone’s opinions are heard Encourage team members to ask for help if needed
How will the team interact with the engineering guide?	Discuss project progress and deliverables during class time as well as outside of class time when necessary Post weekly meeting minutes on Edge for viewing Email
How will the team communicate with each other?	Weekly team meetings Emails (Preferred) Text Messaging (for informal messages such as “I’m going to be 20 minutes late for the team meeting this afternoon.”) Phone calls as a last resort
