PROJECT MANAGEMENT
SECTION 1
At the initial stage, the teams were created through the means of Tuckman’s stages of
team development. In this case, I can mention about the storming, forming, norming and
closing stages, which helped us to enhance the adjustability skills in terms of interacting with
the other team members. In case of the team structure, I can state the process of developing
hierarchies, which helped me to gain an awareness about the personnel to whom I need to
report after completing the allocated duties and responsibilities. We were indulged into wide
ranging activities, which enhanced my awareness about the project management techniques. I
can make specific reference of the activities of preparing notes on the topic, data collection
and analysis among others, which upgraded my knowledge about the ways to approach a
project.
With reference to the arguments of Fleming and Koppelman, (2016) about the
principles of team building, I can cite about the aspects of measuring the success criteria,
role model, value and rewards, which were followed. I felt that measurement of the success
criteria was crucial in terms of gaining an insight into the effectiveness of the proposed
assumptions towards completing the projects. In this context, Göker and Bozkuş, (2017) is of
the view that problem solving techniques and conflict resolution methods were important for
considering the alternatives, which could have been considered for exposing teamwork for
completing the projects. The strategic approach of the team development was reflected from
the theoretical consideration of the Tuckman’s theory of team development along with
Belbin’s team role model (Harrison & Lock, 2017). Taking a cue from the Belbin’s team role
model, I can say that I was acquainted with the different roles, which I am supposed to
expose in the workplace. As a matter of specification, I can mention about the roles of leader,
co-ordinator, shaper, team worker, resource investigator, implementer, complete finisher,
monitor-evaluator, plant innovator, expert specialist among others. Among these roles, my

role was that of a team worker, where I was supposed to expose mutual understanding for
adjusting with the other team members. This approach reflected my broad-mindedness
towards undertaking the decisions regarding completing the projects.
As per the arguments of Kerzner, (2017), one of an important characteristic of this
role is that of the sociable, concern and high flexibility. I attempted to expose all of these
characteristics while executing teamwork, with main focus on achieving solutions for the
issues, which the team members were facing while executing the allocated duties and
responsibilities. The goal in this context was enhancing the unity and coordination for
upgrading the standards and quality of the operations. Here, I was taught about the
importance of consent in terms of undertaking the decisions for achieving trust, loyalty and
dependence from the other team members. Here, I also feel that strategic approach also
reflected from taking the consent from all of the team members before implementing the
decisions. In terms of the role of a co-ordinator, I can say that the team members are
themselves the coordinator for the allocated works. In terms of the conflicts, I felt that the
coordination attains degradation, adding an interrogative parameter to the mutual
understanding, which was aimed at the initiation of the team development.
SECTION 2
At point of time, we encountered a challenge regarding resource inadequacy for
completing the allocated duties and responsibilities. A meeting was organised for discussing
about the issues. The nature of the meeting was interactive, which helped us in achieving
effective solutions for dealing with the issue. I felt that this session was productive for
delving deeper into the mind-set of the team members for deducing relevant conclusions
regarding solving the issues. In order to further elaborate the aspect, Kiweewa et al., (2018)
has influenced my considering Gibbs Reflective Cycle. Considering the third component of
