Each team is expected to post meeting minutes or a weekly progress report. This posting should follow the guidelines given below and will be due every Friday. When you create each new Minutes page, there is a template for the AguaClara format of Minute pages, so click on the select a page template to start from link.
Structuring Reports on Progress
(The following information was borrowed the MAE website that is a great website with resources for student teams and project groups)
- Accomplishments
A summary of major work completed since last meeting based on last meeting's identified outcomes/issues - Outcomes
A summary of resolutions based on what was accomplished.
New directions and ideas that result from these resolutions. - Metrics
Quantitative and qualitative results from accomplishments and outcomes.
Potential metrics for unresolved issues. - Issues
Difficult and unresolved issues
Plans for action
With this structure, you can quickly identify what was done, what results from what was done, what basis has been used to evaluate what was done, and what issues remain to be done. The Accomplishments and Metrics sections help structure subsequent Outcomes and Issues sections. These charts can be quickly presented to all members of the team and help build common understanding of team production as well as help team leaders determine progress and identify issues that are not adequately being resolved.
Also if you are documenting specific meetings the team members present should be listed.
Wiki Organization
Each team needs to follow a standard procedure for placing information on their individual team wiki pages. For this assignment each team should have the following sentence on their teams home page:"Team Name" goals and meeting minutes.
Ex.
"Team Name" goals and meeting minutes.
The "meeting mintues" link should lead to a page from which the user can connect to previous and current meeting minutes. This page should start with an h1 heading on "Team name" meeting minutes, followed by links to each semester's meeting minutes. (Ex. "Fall 2008", "Summer 208", etc)
Ex.
h1."Team Name" Meeting Minutes
The specific semester's meeting minutes page should start with an h1 heading of "Team name" meeting minutes, followed by an h2 heading of the semester name. (Ex Fall 2008) Beneath these headings links to the meeting minutes for that semester should be given. The links should contain the date for the meeting minutes.
The specific date of the meeting minutes page should start with and h1 heading of "Team name" meeting minutes, followed by and h2 heading of the date of the meetign minutes documented below. The Meeting Minutes page explains how each week's meeting minutes should be recorded.
