Team Work

Some of your work here will be done alone, but as Chris said, you must communicate. Roles overlap, so you'll have to decide, as a team, how to keep in touch with other. If you all have email accounts, that might be a way.

Below are several links to resources on the Internet which you can examine on your own. Scan these resources, don't read them word for word, because many are very lengthy. Try to avoid "surfing" the various links on each page. You'll get way off track. Jot down some notes as you go along. That will help you remember ideas when you work with your team.

Keep your role in mind. Don't hesitate to refresh your memory about your role by clicking the "Individual Roles" button at the left to return to that page. Work from the perspective of your role. But, also keep the big picture in mind. You want to discover all the "critical characteristics" of the perfect web site. This is where communicating with your team mates as you work along will really help. Team work is the key!

By the way, when you click on the links below, a new browser window will open. Simply close that new window to return to this page.
