Jessica Bobier from the Saturday Afternoon Club group from the Business of Web Design class submitted the Team Proposal report

Team Meetings:
Yes it's working great. Most communication is through e-mail.

Project Status -
We followed the outline on the class website for who should contribute what to the proposal. There was a little confusion but it worked out well in the end.

Team Interactions:
Our group is interacting very well. Everyone seems to be getting everything they need, and we are completing the project on time.

Jonathan Piehl from the PFSP group from the Web Content Practicum class submitted the Team Proposal report

Team Meetings:
The communication system is working for me. Recently we've had one face to face meeting to finalize the Web Proposal and then met face to face to get the proposal approved. Beyond that we've been emailing with updates and questions.

Project Status -
The process our team used to create the Web Proposal was to assign sections to the people who were working on that section of the site. This worked well because those people knew their section better than anyone else. If sections overlapped then one person was assigned to it, but had to seek help from the team member who had the info they didn't have. Once all the sections were completed the PM (me) read through the proposal to make sure the entire proposal was consistent.

Team Interactions:
The group is interacting well. All the information from the client is in and everyone has the info they need to get their job done.

Stefan Fanslow from the Women's Global Leadership Initiative group from the Web Content Practicum class submitted the Team Proposal report

Team Meetings:
we had 2 face to face meetings with the client and 2 seperate team meetings. Jen wasn't in the class while the first client meeting and team meeting happened. I wasn't able to be there for one of the team meetings due to scheduling conflicts. I lost my internet connection briefly the afternoon, and wasn't able to fix it (myself!) until a few miinutes ago so I apologize if my words are brief, it's 11:37 right now!

Anna-Maria (Anni) Wernicke from the UASA group from the Business of Web Design class submitted the Team Proposal report

Team Meetings:
Communication works well. Mostly we communicate by email, occasionally we meet, especially before meeting with the client.

Project Status -
WE each created our part and then compiled it at a meeting. the designer in me wishes that we had decided on a consistent design, but the information was all there.

Team Interactions:
I think the group is working well. Everyone is doing their part.

Doane Atwood from the Women's Global Leadership Initiative group from the Web Content Practicum class submitted the Team Proposal report

Team Meetings:
Yes and no. It was working alright, but in the past week or so I've gotten completely swamped - too many projects all demanding attention at the same time. I'm trying to get things back together, but I'm in a bit of a time crunch at the moment. I'm hoping that the other team members will be able to continue on with their parts of the project while I try to get myself back up to speed. Since I'm the PM, I'm concerned that most of the team members are fairly passive about communicating.

Project Status -
The web proposal was created after one meeting with the client, a team meeting that not everyone was able to attend, several emails between the PM (me) and the client, with team members being CC'd on the client's responses. Content was delivered to the CD (Jen) as it was provided by the client. The different parts of the proposal were put together by different team members, pretty much independently. I really like the concept of putting together a web proposal, and I think that it would work better in an actual business setting. In the class setting, with people on different schedules with different work loads, and with some difficulty meeting, it hasn't been the easiest thing to get done.

Team Interactions:
I don't really feel like the group is interacting as well as it should be at this point. Maybe I'm expecting too much, but I rarely hear from other team members unless I directly ask them a question. I've been able to get most of the info I needed, but some has been more difficult to get than others.

Larry Roberts from the FANHS group from the Web Content Practicum class submitted the Team Proposal report

Team Meetings:
Yes, the communication is working. We email as needed, sometimes several times a day. Response has been rapid from all parties. There are a few times when a face to face meeting might have sped things up, but we now know to respond and ask for clarification.

Project Status -
The Web Proposal was done via email and telephone conversations with the client. We had a little technical trouble getting the Web Proposal signatures scanned and emailed, as we do all our work via email, but except for a couple days delay, it worked out.

Team Interactions:
The group is interacting well and doing a pretty good job of sharing info. We all want to do a good job.

Team Meetings:
The team has very good communication via email and face to face. The emails are sometimes so fluid that I'm answering one while other answers to that one are are piling up. We send a lot of information via email.

Project Status -
The team divided up the proposal work either through a volunteer effort or by assignments from the PM. Everyone participated though the PM did the bulk of the site work and presentation.

Team Interactions:
The team interacts well and is on track for a successful conclusion. We have most all of the information we did for completion. It's just getting the details to work, now.

Albert Shanto from the Legal Aid of Sonoma County group from the Web Content Practicum class submitted the Team Proposal report

Team Meetings:
Our communication has been very frequent, often several times daily, and at least several times per week. It has been almost exclusively email, with face to face meetings when meeting with the instructor or our client. The communication system is working very well.

Project Status -
Our PM organized and set up the proposal on the shell site which she created. As designer I contributed all work the designer is responsible for, including the storyboard, creative brief and mock ups, as well as advising on all other areas of the proposal regarding design, including deliverables and production standards. As programmer I contributed the technical brief and advised the PM on all other areas of the proposal concerning programming. I thought the process of creating the proposal went well and don't have any suggestions for improvement.

Team Interactions:
Our team continues to interact very well with each other and our client. All information has available and on time.

Randy Jaillet from the FANHS group from the Business of Web Design class submitted the Team Proposal report

Team Meetings:
Our communication has still been almost entirely over email. We've only all met in person once; Larry and I have met a few times and have talked over the phone a few times. This has been ideal and working great for me.

Project Status -
Larry as the PM took the lead and he divvied out sections of it to Antonio and I according to our roles. We all contributed our parts to the whole. This worked well and I was glad Larry was on the ball with the proposal because I was very busy and distracted with designing and building the site.

Team Interactions:
Yes I am. We interact rather minimally but it is sufficient and I prefer it that way. (Wow I sound antisocial.)

Rebecca F from the Sonoma County Folk Society group from the Business of Web Design class submitted the Team Proposal report

Team Meetings:
The communication is working OK. The team tends to be a bit overzealous with the amount of email that has been sent, I have nearly 300 emails in my team folder. I would prefer longer/detailed email if the thoughts are composed rather than many random thoughts.

Project Status -
The web proposal went fine although I wish the timing for the last client meeting to sign off for content would have been a bit earlier to allow for layout changes in the template. These aren't major changes but the html template is quite a large project in itself. This is not a team issue, I just think in hindsight a time-line thing.

Team Interactions:
There are some issues regarding images for the header banner that still need to be worked out but I have an image to use in its place until then.

Amy McVicar from the Sonoma County Folk Society group from the Web Content Practicum class submitted the Team Proposal report

Team Meetings:
Yes.

Project Status -
We divided up the Web Proposal parts amongst the two content developers, Anna and myself, which we then completed with contributions from the designer Rebecca and Nichelle. We then forwarded on the completed pieces to the team. The project manager, Nichelle, pulled all the pieces together in the team website very nicely. The team website is definitely worth a look, it is fantastic. Nichelle also made a photo gallery of all the received photos/graphics and the information that goes with them which is extremely helpful.

Team Interactions:
Great, and yes.

Nichelle Rourke from the Sonoma County Folk Society group from the Business of Web Design class submitted the Team Proposal report

Team Meetings:
Our team has very good email communication. We see each other at client meetings once a month.

Project Status -
As the PM, I took each element of the web proposal and created a table on an HTML page. Each element had a responsible person and a column listing whether the task was completed. As each part was completed, I converted the file to HTML and linked each part to the table until the list was complete. All members, including the client, could easily review the elements. I finally printed each page and presented it to the instructor and the client for approval.

Team Interactions:
We have an easy, friendly, comfortable and respectable relationship which makes interaction fluid. I am satisfied with the information I have received.

Mark Foote from the American Philharmonic group from the Web Content Practicum class submitted the Team Proposal report

Team Meetings:
Yes, I have confidence in our email and meeting system.

Project Status -
The process of creating a web proposal worked reasonably well for me, although the examples of past web proposals really display a variety of understandings about what goes in the deliverables; I think I have a better idea about that now, and I'm grateful for the input received in our conference.

Team Interactions:
I think the group is very positive, and we are all very grateful to the representative of our client (Krisha), who is very gracious in her appreciation of our process and extremely forthcoming with the materials required for our redesign and implementation.

Team Meetings:
We converse via e-mail and it is working fine

Project Status -
Our project manager gave us all jobs and we met the day before the proposal was due to clarify any outstanding issues and make sure we had all our bases covered. It worked fine.

Team Interactions:
Our group works well together. Now that we know the client isn't providing any info it is easier to go forward and not be concerned about what it is we are not getting. To really do a good job we would need a client who wanted to work with us.

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

Team Meetings:
Our team communications are working fine for me. We communicate predominantly via email - usually daily, and by phone or in-person meetings when that seems prudent.

Project Status -
After a few struggles we were able to bring the Proposal together. The method worked fine for me - following the suggestions on the class webpage regarding who was responsible for what told me just about everything I needed to know to do my part.

Team Interactions:
I have no complaints about our team. We communicate often enough and thoroughly enough to get everything done effectively and on time. I certainly am getting everything I need to meet my responsibilities.

Team Meetings:
I think the communication plan is working good. At times there seems to be misunderstanding but i feel because of our teams and clients open communication situations get cleared up quickly and I like that.

Project Status -
each of us did our part and I gathered the information and added a header to each element befor printing. It was alot of work for everyone but we got it done. I liked this process- information was readyly avialable for each role to help accomplish the common goal of a great webproposal. Things went smooth.

Team Interactions:

Gloria Batemon from the American Philharmonics group from the Web Content Practicum class submitted the Team Proposal report

Team Meetings:
Yes, the communication system is working fine for me. I am receiving information that I am needing pretty promptly, especially from the client. She usually responds prior to the 24 hour notification period we have established. Some of the team members usually respond more quickly then others, but the project is going fine.

Project Status -
Our project manager created a web site to house the different parts of the web proposal. We all contributed our part to the project and our PM put it all together and printed it out. I delivered my part, as well as everyone else, and the Proposal was presented, so I would say it worked well. I can't think of any improvements necessary for the web proposal. It went smoothly.

Team Interactions:
Mark and I (the content developers) are constantly chatting back and forth regarding questions about the project. Jerry, tries to keep us to a schedule which is working fine for us. Stephen, has his hands full of the design part, but we should be seeing things from him shortly. Once we have that part, we the CD's will be off and running once again.

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

Team Meetings:
The team continues to meet face to face on a regular basis and use email on other occasions. Like all teams some members communicate more often than others but overall the project continues to move forward.

Project Status -
I developed a template in Dreamweaver containing a header and vertical navigation within the site which people could use. Personally I was responsible for contact page, strategic briefs, communication, work flow, and contract. Other team members contributed with their pages that were consolidated into the main web site. The main flow linked back to individual team members server address. I used the web site as the basis for producing the printed copies for the client and the instructor. The team and client initialed the pages and signed the contract.

Team Interactions:
In some instances communication has been outstanding with some members passing information back to the team sooner than the due date. There is a great deal of information sharing and helpful suggestions among some of the team members as well. The project continues to remain on schedule and in some cases ahead of schedule.
