Park University The Future of the Patient Centered Medical Homes Project
Unit 1: Team Project GuidelinesTeam Formation The instructor will assemble project work teams, which will consist of a Project Manager (PM) and team members. The assigned PM will be the team leader and will be responsible for planning, organizing, directing, controlling, and coordinating the effort of the team to ensure that the assigned project and its’ deliverables are successfully completed by the established deadline. Team sizes may vary based on courses enrollment and the nature and scope of the projects to be completed; however, the total team will have no fewer than three (3) and no more than four (4). The goal is to keep the team sizes small enough that each member will have an equal opportunity to make a substantive contribution to the overall success of the team in terms of meeting its goals and objectives.Important Notice: It is at the sole discretion of the instructor to change team members with or without advance notice for cause or for no reason at all. In addition, the instructor has the right to change the parameters of the team projects, including, but not limited to: moving up or pushing back due dates, changing deliverable expectations, or request progress reports.Team Meetings - Units 2-7 Online StudentsBlended StudentsOnline StudentsEach team will utilize Zoom to conduct and record their team meeting. Failure to record any of these mandatory meetings will adversely affect the both PM and team members’ grade, which will be assigned by the faculty at the end of unit 7. The meeting MUST be conducted at some point during the unit, which runs from Monday through Sunday. This will allow ample flexibility to accommodate work schedules and the geographic location of the participants (domestic or international). It is expected that a typical meeting will last 45 minutes to an hour depending on the level of group and individual preparation; however, there is no artificial limitations on the length of time the team can participate in the meeting. Zoom facilitates the sharing of one’s computer screen, which makes it possible to use these meetings as actual work session. There is no long distance charge associated with using Zoom.Team participants are responsible for viewing the tutorials on how to access and function within Zoom.
