Your response to the questionnaires must relate to the same project topic chosen for BSBPMG511 Manage Project Scope subject unit.
However, if you have started with this subject topic as an initial attempt of this course, you must negotiate and discuss with your Assessor to consider a project that you recently or are currently working on or a project that you have worked in the past.
If workplace project exposure does not apply to you, you must negotiate with your assessor to use a scenario/case study examples that you will find on e-learning. However, case study examples are a suitable substitute where workplace examples cannot be provided. Case studies are available on e-learning. Theory answers without reference to your experience will not be assessed as satisfactory.
Demonstrate that you can or have applied what you have learnt to your project, regardless of whether you have undertaken all the performance requirements in your workplace
You will need to complete the relevant templates from each knowledge area which are provided, you may use templates from the text or from your workplace that provide evidence of your competency.
<50% marks of the allocated marks for the questions and answers in Task 1, will be given for providing theoretical aspect and remaining 50% marks for providing the relevancy on how the information fits in within your project management functionalities. Only theoretical responses will not be accepted, and 50% marks will be allocated, should that be the case. However, Assessor to assess if relevant theory has been provided by the student as per the requirement of the tasks. Non-relevant answers will be considered not competent>

    In working groups, having a shared aim and a clear knowledge of roles, responsibilities, and individual goals is critical to achieving a high-quality result. Quality here refers to more than simply a positive outcome in respect to the specified aims; it also refers to the cohesiveness of members within the team environment and the lifetime of the group project's success (or lack thereof). As a manager, synchronizing the team's attention allows members to achieve their objectives. Facilitating a shared understanding of the following topics is an important consideration.
· the organization's mission, who its customers are, and how the team interacts with them
· the organization's goals and how your team will contribute to achieving them.
Team leadership skills are necessary. Managers and supervisors must first grasp the abilities necessary to lead teams and what makes a team in order to get the best out of their teams. To lead a squad efficiently, you will need the following abilities:
· skills in planning and organisation
· skills in training
· abilities in communication and consultation
· skills in conflict resolution.
Scheduled gatherings, message boards, messaging services, shared computer network spaces, websites, and even tweets and other forms of social media can all be utilised to convey feedback to the work team on the results of any given consultation. The following approaches can be used to carry out the consultation process:
Meetings - Both formal, planned meetings and informal, impromptu gatherings of team members help to clarify tasks, responsibilities, and roles.
Interviews - Developing a list of questions to determine knowledge, abilities, and comprehension of the activity can aid in identifying individual requirements and characteristics.
Interviews - Developing a list of questions to determine knowledge, abilities, and comprehension of the activity can aid in identifying individual requirements and characteristics.
Email/intranet communication - If a team is geographically distributed, an electronic communication system can help everyone understand and contribute.
A team charter outlines the group's or organization's mission, structure, methods, and expectations. Typically, a team charter is negotiated with a team sponsor, team leader, and appropriate team members. When a team is founded or when a team is in difficulties and individuals need to recover their perspective on the larger picture, team charters should be developed. A team charter has no set format since it should be tailored to the unique team setting.
    Question 2: As a Project Manager you should work out objectives that meet the needs of the project and have the total support of the work team. Stages of development (Tuckman’s original theory of group behaviour and evolution) is a consideration to ensure successful achievement of project objectives. Discuss what Stages of Development consists of and state what do you see your role during those stages? (BSBWOR502-PC 1.3, PE 1, KE 1,2)
<1 mark for stating the Tuckman’s original theory and 2 marks discussing how you executed your role as a Project Manager using the 5 stages relevant to your project environment. Total of 3 marks> 3 Marks
    
Dr. Bruce Tuckman's Forming Storming Norming Performing model was first published in 1965. According to Tuckman's model, connections grow as the team matures and abilities improve, and leadership style shifts to more collaborative or shared leadership. Tuckman's first paper merely explained how he had seen organisations change, whether or not they were aware of it. The actual benefit of CORAL is in understanding where a team is in the evolutionary stage process and aiding them in moving to a stage that is congruent with their collaborative efforts. Teams develop and change frequently in the real world, and each time they do, they can progress to a new Tuckman Stage. A group may be contentedly Norming or Performing, but a current recruit or a team member missing meeting may push them back into Storming. Project guidelines will be prepared for this and will assist the team in fast returning to performing.

High reliance on the leader for direction and guidance. Other than what the captain says, there is little unanimity on the team's goals. Individual tasks and functions are unclear. The team's leader must be prepared to field several inquiries regarding the team's mission, goals, and external relationships. Processes are frequently overlooked. Members put the system and the leader to the test. The team gets together to discuss the opportunities and problems, then sets goals and gets to work on the tasks. Team members have a tendency to act autonomously. They may be motivated, yet they are frequently unaware of the team's difficulties and goals. Team members are normally pleasant, yet they are preoccupied with themselves. Even at this early stage, experienced team members begin to model good conduct. The meeting atmosphere is equally crucial in modelling each individual's first conduct. Orientation is another essential job function. Members make an effort to get oriented to both the work and one another. This is also when group members test boundaries, establish ground rules, and establish organisational norms.  The focus of the discussion is on defining the task's scope, how to approach it, and other related issues. To go from this stage to the next, each member must give up the safety of non-threatening subjects and risk confrontation.
STEP 2: STORMING
The group begins to sort itself out and acquire each other's trust in the second stage of team development. This stage usually begins when they express their thoughts; disagreement between team members may emerge when authority and position are distributed. When group members begin to work together, they learn about personal working methods and what it is like to collaborate as a team; it also establishes the group's hierarchy of positions. People are cordial to each other, and they may have sentiments of enthusiasm, eagerness, and positivity during this period. Others may experience scepticism, dread, or worry. The team leader will then explain the responsibilities to the group, as well as the various behaviours and how to deal with and address concerns. At this point, "...participants generate ideas about the other participants' character and integrity, and they feel obligated to express these thoughts if they see someone avoiding responsibility or seeking to dominate. As the trip becomes more difficult, members may begin to doubt the leader's actions or decisions..." Because disputes and personality conflicts must be handled before the team can go on, some teams may never escape from "storming" or re-enter it if fresh obstacles or arguments occur. Only half of the research in Tuckman's 1965 publication detected an intragroup conflict stage, and some of the remaining studies skipped straight from step 1 to step 3. Some groups may choose to skip the phase entirely, but for those who do, the duration, intensity, and destructive nature of the "storms" can be adjusted. It is important to stress each team member's tolerance for their differences; without tolerance and patience, the team would fail. If allowed to spiral out of control, this period may be harmful to the team and diminish motivation. Some teams will never go past this point; nevertheless, team conflicts can make members stronger, more adaptable, and better equipped to work together. Supervisors are more approachable during this period, but they are still demanding in their judgement-making and corporate behaviour counselling. As a result, team members should be able to reconcile their disagreements and participate more easily with one another. The ideal situation is for them to not feel criticised and to freely express their thoughts and ideas. Tension, conflict, and even arguments are common. This time might be unpleasant as well. Within a group, making decisions is difficult. Team members compete for position as they try to establish oneself in connection to other members of the team and the leader, who may face problems. While the clarity of goal grows, there are still many unknowns. Cliques and factions arise, and power battles may ensue. To avoid being side tracked by interpersonal and emotional concerns, the team must remain focused on its objectives. Compromises may be necessary to move forwards.
STEP 3: NORMING
Unresolved conflicts and personality clashes lead to increased closeness and a cooperative attitude. When a team is conscious of competition and has a common purpose, this occurs. At this point, everyone in the team accepts responsibility and is motivated to work towards the team's objectives. They begin to accept the other team members' whims and preferences. They accept others for who they are and try to move on. The risk is that members will be so concentrated on avoiding confrontation that they will be reluctant to offer contentious thoughts. The team responds effectively to the leader's guidance in forming agreement and consensus. Responsibilities are clearly defined and agreed upon. Group consensus is used to make major choices. Individuals or small groups within the group may be allocated smaller choices. Commitment and cooperation are strong. The team can participate in enjoyable and sociable activities. The group talks about and improves its procedures and work style. The leader is well respected, and some aspects of leadership are more embraced by the team.
STEP 4: PERFORMING
After establishing group rules and responsibilities, members concentrate on attaining common objectives, often with surprising results. They are dedicated and knowledgeable at this point. The members of the team are now competent, self-sufficient, and capable of making decisions without supervision. Dissent is expected and welcomed as long as it is directed via channels that the team approves of. During this phase, the team's supervisors are virtually always present. The majority of the required decisions will be made by the team. Even the most successful teams will regress to earlier levels in some situations. As they adjust to changing conditions, many long-standing teams get through the similar cycles several times. A leadership change, for instance, may prompt the organization to return to storming when the new members question the team's current norms and dynamics. The team knows clearly; it understands why it is acting in the way it is. The team has a common vision and is capable of functioning independently without the leader's involvement. The emphasis is on exceeding objectives, and the team has made the majority of choices based on criteria agreed upon with the leader. The squad has a lot of independence. Differences of opinion still occur, but they are now addressed favourably within the team, and the team makes the required modifications to procedures and structure. The team is working towards to the objective while simultaneously addressing difficulties with relationships, style, and procedure. Members of the team watch out for one another. The leader must assign tasks and projects to the team. It is not necessary to coach or aid the team. Team members may approach the leader for advice on personal and social development.
ADJOURNING
Tuckman and Mary Ann Jensen introduced a fifth stage to the four phases in 1977: adjourning, which entails completing the work and disbanding the team (in some texts referred to as "mourning"). They examined the original model and evaluated the literature after being asked by Group and Organizational Studies to offer an update. They came to the conclusion that the eventual separation at the end of the small group life cycle was a crucial phase.
