Work together to make sure you understand what has to be done. Use this summary to check that you understand what can be done as a team and what must be done on your own.

Hold a formal meeting using your agenda. Produce the detailed team project plan plan using the summary to help you.

You can decide on what the plan will look like and what software you are going to use but you must make sure that it contains the following:

• a start date and finish date for the whole project
• all the main tasks and sub-tasks in a logical order
• which tasks will involve team work and which each team member will do individually
• which sub-task each team member is working on at any time
• time allocation for each task and sub-task
• whether work is to be completed in class or at home
• checkpoints when the team will review progress with the teacher and agree any changes to the plan
• when test users and reviewers will look at your work

You MUST agree your plan with your teacher. Check that it is complete and that your timings are sensible.

Save a copy of the initial team plan in the shared area so that you can include it in your eportfolios.

Use your plan as you work through the project. Click the link ‘Keeping track ’ for help with this.
