Corleone Diaries 08/12/2009 Team Meeting

As present project manager, I arrandged a team meeting with my other two partners Ashley and Mike.
The reason I had a team meeting was for several reasons, these being to find out if everthing was going to plan, if the project was on track and that we were all clear on what we were all doing with the project and keeping one another up to date with any changes.
Also in regards to game we are working on, the meeting allowed us to air any queries we had come across and discudss the queries, plus any other issues.
(I feel it is far better to have team meetings regularly to discuss any project issues than to get further down the line and find you have a big problem that if raised and discussed earlier at a team meeting would have saved a lot of time, energy and money, not to mention jepordising said project and possibly not being able to meet the completion date with the project outcome first envisaged).
The outcome of the team meeting was very good with our project progressing reall well and our team all knowing what we need to do to keep it on track. Also all the game queries we had were discussed and rectified where necessary.
Reflecting on the team meeting I feel that they are a very important part of a project as they enable us to reiterate and focus on our goals, whilst also being able to examine and re-evaluate if necessary any problems or queries the project may have thrown up.
I feel that it is vital that all members of a project team are fully up to date with the project they are working on and are also aware of one anothers project worries and concerns, as it is also my belief that by having regular meetings, discussing project team worries and concerns collectively that it reduces project stress, this then produces an enjoyable team project where positive and productive project ideas are more forthcoming, thus improving the project and project working conditions and environment.
