Part B – Personal Reflection

Initially, the entire project plan document or the assignment hand out was read at individual level by all
the group member and post understanding the requirements we collaboratively discussed on each topic
and the requirements expected in the assignment. Along with the face to face interaction every group
member could also easily access the document and the material posted by the other group members, so
we made the use of an online platform Google Docs for the assignment and Google Drive to share the
other documents. Everyone was expected to research at the individual level concerning all the tasks
mentioned in the assignment handout.
Initially, in the first meeting, the agenda was to discuss the assignment one response and improve on
our shortcomings. We debated the improvements suggested in the assignment 1 and overcome the same
in assignment 2 by considering the individual feedback. The sections which received both higher and
lower marks were discussed in a group and how those sections should have been improved on referring
the assignment of each group member and comparing the same with the general feedback provided.
This is how we improved and incorporated in assignment two. After comparing some section of the
project plan every member of the group decided to inscribe specific topic based on the group discussion.
Every member uploaded the written section on the shared online document.
In the second meeting, the program was to deliberate the updated document and move further with the
assignment. Prior starting with the discussion on other section of the project plan the updated online
document was reviewed and discussed the changes were made and finalised. Section were divided based
on the marks received in the previous assignment and the completed task was reviewed by the other
group members. Some section in which we weren’t clear and required delineation were discussed and
researched and then at individual level the findings were uploaded to our group portal and later updated
in the online document. This created positive interdependence in the group.
Every conducted meetings and group discussions had a common agenda to review and finalise the
updated sections based on the previous discussion. Updating the file and finalising the document helped
us in creating the document and the Project Plan.
Working in a group help us learning actively rather than passively by developing collaborative and co-
operative skills and progresses in critical thinking skills. Improvement based on the assignment 1 had
the main benefit of sharing idea as team this type of collaboration benefits the project and gives the
team members to rebound around idea to find the best fit. Some significant benefit of group work in
corporate environment is cumulating the competence. A group approach can also lead to cost saving
for business because it increases productivity without demanding the employer to hire new employees.
Group work helps showcase peoples various strengths but can also help shore up areas of weakness.
The employer can assign the task based on the strengths of the employees in the group. When people
work together as a team, they are more invested in the project, they become more participated in each
other as well which help in improving professional relationships.
