Team Project Contract

Due: October 9 by 11:59 PM ET · 5% of course grade

1 Purpose

Your team of four will write and sign a contract for the Team Project. A contract settles who does what, when you meet, and what happens when someone stops responding, at the start, while everyone still gets along. Teams are formed at the project kickoff in class on October 2.

2 What to Submit

  • One contract per team, signed by every team member, submitted as a PDF named Team-Name-Contract.pdf.
  • One team member uploads the PDF to Canvas. Every member is responsible for confirming that it was submitted.

3 Expectations

Your contract must address every section described in the Team Contracts guide:

  • Team members and contact information
  • Track and topic
  • Roles and tasks
  • Meetings
  • Communication
  • Internal deadlines
  • Backup plan
  • Conflict resolution
  • Signatures

Be specific. The guide has examples of vague and specific commitments.

4 Submission Checklist

  • Every section in the Team Contracts guide is addressed.
  • Every team member has signed and dated the contract.
  • The contract is submitted as a single PDF.
