Agreeing on the project goals is important because the team needs to understand the purpose behind the project and what is expected to come out of their efforts. If every team members understands what the project goals are, they will better understand what is expected of them and what their roles are in the project. Furthermore, it helps keep individual members on the same page so that no one does less or more than what is expected. Effective communication is important for the reason that team members need to be able to convey their ideas and messages correctly concisely. The messages that are communicated must also be accurate, yet concise. This prevents people from getting confused or misinformed about the project tasks. For number 3, a saying that can help explain the significance is : “If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.” Without a plan, the team can develop diffidence, which will affect their overall performance in the project. With a plan, the team can have confidence that they can moving forward and ultimately achieve the project goals. Assigning responsibilities to each member allows for individuals to understand their roles. This distributes the work fairly so that no one feels overwhelmed. The project scope needs to be kept in mind because the members know what to or not what not to do, given the constraints that the project team has (e.g. time, money). Without the support of management, there can be no project. Without an individual maintain order and organizing the entire effort, the project can fall apart any point in the process. Support from management is a must.
