    As the execution phase transitions into a project’s process, the development of a team foments. Keeping records of all team members and establishing effective communication is tremendously important when developing a team. Each team members should always have the freedom to take their owed vacation time off. Team members should never feel that their life is tied down to work because that will cultivate negativity towards the company’s work culture. A system should be set up to give a team notice in advance for when a team member is deciding to use their vacation time. This will allow the team to properly prepare to continue the same workflow with part of the team unavailable. For sick days, if possible and depending on the position, working remotely can still be done. If not possible, a sick team member must alert the time of their condition and the expected date of recovery. Any useful information for the team that the sick team member may have should be communicated. In the case of emergency, a team should always be ready to carry the weight of an absent team member. A team is really tested when their most valuable member is missing in action. Without that member, a team should always have the resources and power to continue their expected workflow. With that in mind, only so many emergencies can happen to multiple team members simultaneously, so the occasion of not having any prior notice of an absent team member should be rare, but a level of confidence is set to have a contingency for a worst case scenario.
