Guiding Questions

For this initial exploration into what you bring to a team, try to avoid thinking about your TECHNICAL skills. Your answers to these questions should apply to any project/team that you work on:

  1. How would you describe your preferred working style?
  2. What strengths do you bring to a team?
  3. What’s gone well or poorly in your previous group project settings?
  4. How do you prefer to handle disagreements that come up? (Yes, they will come up!)
  5. How do you communicate best? What tools do you need to communicate well with your teammates?
  6. How do you prefer to make decisions as a team?
  7. How do you prefer to receive feedback? How do you prefer to give feedback?
  8. What do you need (resources, environment, communication) to do your best work?
  9. What scheduling constraints do you have? What are your preferred work times outside of normal school hours?
  10. What does remote focus look like for you? (headphones, distractions minimized (tv, family stuff, etc), video on)
  11. When working from the same place where you live, life can get in the way. What are some potential life things that could affect your ability to focus, and what plan can we come up with to approach those moments?
  12. If we encounter issues such as power outages, Zoom difficulties, or bad wifi, what backup plans can we have in place? (This could have answers like asking a neighbor to borrow wifi, using cellphone hotspot for internet, switching to Slack.)
  13. How do you want the group to solve problems when members run into blockers on the project?
  14. What are some potential life things that could affect your ability to focus, and what plan can you come up with to approach those moments?

Before submitting, make sure your answers formatted in a way that makes them easily readable, as answers, so a reader who needs to quickly scan this document.
