The Communication System is working well.

Project Status -
I made the template and have made small revisions to the CSs as needed. Mark and Gloria are making the pages. All the content is in. The pages are posted to the test site and the team is notified by email.

Team Interactions:
There were some errors in the pages due to an inadequate template explanation So I made a color coded graphic that showed how all the divs were nested within each other. This cleared everything up and we are almost done with the pages. Questions are being asked and answers are found by communication between team members and client

Team Meetings:
The communication system consists mainly of frequent emails, with an occasional phone call. Emails are answered the same day. This system is working fine for me. I don't see a need to change anything.

Project Status -
As the designer I made the template and passed it on to the CD. The CD and I have frequent email communication, and I was notified as each page was completed. As the programmer, I supplied the CD with 3 pages containing Flash slideshows. There were some technical problems in passing folders and files by email, but we had frequent email communication and a phone call. The problems were resolved relatively easily.

Team Interactions:
Our group works well together. Ideas are expressed freely, and the site development has progress steadily. I have all of the information I need to do my job.

Team Meetings:
Designer and CDs are communicating vi e-mail and, as the designer, I think all is going well. CDs ask questions as necessary and I try to get back to them ASAP.

Project Status -
Designer put template together and all contributed to organizing the content with the CDs bearing the brunt of that job. We have all the content we are being given. We have a bit of a challenge since we have almost no real content and some pages are almost empty. CDs are doing a great job with the info given and lack of participation from client. I think we are all informed as to when pages are complete.

The designer has kept everyone fully informed about the current stage of the template and what we need to be aware of in filling in the content. The template is fully documented and easy to follow. The program manager has done a phenomenal job organizing the material received from the client making the job of the content developers much easier.

The Des created template and handed off to the CD, with codes, etc. All content has been submitted from the client, so the team can produce the finished site. The CD is cc to the PM (me)of what has been emailed to the Des; to look over the codes and point out any errors.

Barbara Vallauri from the Saturday Afternoon Club group from the Web Content Practicum class submitted the Team Production report

Team Meetings:
Our communications system is working fine. From my perspective as CD, our designer wrote a really comprehensive template that I'm able to use easily. We met at our template handoff class, where I received the template and documentation, and we've had several email conversations since where we exchanged pages and information.

Project Status -
All content is in, and everything's currently in place on each page. At the moment we're in early testing and debug stage, where the CD and designer work together to make sure the look and feel is to our liking. As CD I post my work to the web and send copies to my teammates when I've gotten as far as I can on each page.

Team Interactions:
I think we're communicating well. Certainly I'm not lacking any information in order to do my job.

Problems or Concerns:

Jerry Adamson from the American Philharmonic-Sonoma County group from the Web Content Practicum class submitted the Team Production report

Team Meetings:
According to the CDs and Designers the communication is working. As the PM I have seen emails passed back and forth between the team members. The team last met 3/30/09 and everything seemed to be going smoothly and the communication system is working.

Project Status -
The Designer handed over the templates to the Content Developers and they are the ones writing the code to create the site. Some of the content has been updated and will continue to be so since there are pages such as "what's new" and next season's schedule that will be provided as it changes. Everything will be in place before testing begins.

Team Interactions:
As far as I can tell everyone is getting what they need to do the job.

Problems or Concerns:
