Daniel R's How to successfully execute a team writing project

To successfully complete any kind of project a lot of time needs to be spent planning and preparing for the project; the same goes for a team-writing project. One of the first things the group needs to do is come in contact with one another and have a way to communicate. By meeting with everyone or speaking with them you can find out what their interests are, and what they can do to help the group. While meeting with everyone the group should start planning what they need to do to complete the project.

During the planning period the group members can say what they expect the project to look like and the outcome they would like to have. Planning helps the group decide on the style or format they want for the project.

Scheduling should be another top priority. Scheduling helps the project go a lot smoother and helps reduce procrastination. Without scheduling or planning it will affect greatly on how the group operates and the quality of their work. After the group decides on who does what, and when it’s due everyone needs to settle on a format or style guide.

A guide will help unify the group writings instead of having many different types of papers. The last thing the group needs to do is review the work they have done. Reviewing will catch all the simple mistakes and helps to ensure that everyone followed the style guide.

Here is a helpful video, and I think it will help you too.
