This week we have had a few issues as a team. Up until now we have had no problems, everyone had been doing their fair share of work. IND1 had been absent from all group discussions this week. It was never really noticed, but no one had seen his work to date. One week away from presentations this was realised by the rest of the group and became quite concerning. Throughout the weeks, people would ask him how he was progressing, and he would always say he was doing well. After this the topic would be dropped. But it has now become apparent that we as a team should have been checking up on him more and making sure he was on track or at least making a start.
Other team members rely on his work before they can complete their responsibilities. On the night before it is due, it is nearly 11 o clock and two team members are in the QUT computer labs waiting for IND1 to send in his parts so that they can put them into the presentation. This was after we he had assured us his work would be up at 5pm, I find this extremely rude. He has managed his time very poorly and he doesn't have the courtesy to realise it effects the whole team. His communication with the rest of the team has been a very minimal effort. It has been taking numerous text messages, calls and face book messages to get him to respond to anyone. If IND1 had just planned his time better and had been working throughout the weeks like everyone else he would be under control.
Everyone else has been working really well together I think. The people with good computing skills have been able to help out the "drawers" of the group which has been really great. Dropbox and facebook group have been the two most beneficail resources to us a team. They allow constant communciation that everyone can be invloved in and of course the easy sharing of eachothers work.
