Even if you decide on roles such as "I will present" and "I will research" in group work, things may not go well. Division of roles is important, but it is not enough. The most important thing is knowing what to release and by when.
Even if you have a role, you may stop
Even if you have decided who will be in charge, if the release date is vague, you'll keep wondering if it's okay, and things will get tough in the end. Moreover, if one person is late, others may not be able to proceed to the next step. Group work is not just about doing your part.
It is easier to help each other when there is a deadline.
For example, if you decide to "send what you researched by Tuesday" or "review it on Thursday," you can consult with them early even if you think you will be late. Deadlines are not only used to tie things down, but also to create a time when we can help each other. The ability to work as a team comes from perspective.
The next time you do something as a group, let's decide together not only the roles but also "by when".
At Digital Kodomo BASE, we value not only the ability to create by yourself, but also the ability to work together. Teams are much more mobile when they can see a deadline.
