DTR: Define the Relationship

One teammate should copy and paste the raw markdown into a gist of your own.

Guiding Questions to Define The Relationship:

• What is your collaboration style? How do you feel about pair programming vs. divide-and-conquer approaches?
• How do you communicate best? How do you appreciate receiving communication from others?
• How would you describe your work style?
• What are each of our strengths? How can our strengths complement each other?
• What’s gone well or poorly in your previous projects?
• How will we set direction and make decisions as a team?
• What do you need (resources, environment, communication) to do your best work?
• What scheduling restraints do you have? What are your scheduling preferences?
• What is your style for giving feedback? Does anything ever hold you back from giving feedback?
• What do you identify as being your biggest strength(s) technically? Where do you feel you could use improvement in your technical skills? How can our team help support you in improving these skills?
• How do you want the group to solve problems when members run into issues with features of the project?
• How do you know if a project is successful? How can we achieve that as a group?
• How will we recognize each other's successes and celebrate them?
