I just sent in the completed project of the Paper Toy Assignment and am reviewing the Debs article to see how I was challenged in working in a group of two people. First, I am glad that the assignment is done, seemed simple enough, communicating in a timely fashion needs to be worked on. When I was going over the Debs article again re-reading "' A Division of Labor or Integrated Teams: A Crux in the management of Technical Cmm?"' M. Jimmie Killingsworth and Betsy Jones outline ways that the modern business divide production through the breakdown of stages and add specialists into the group. I can see this working with business especially when the end result will be read by public, members, etc. and is somewhat the "face" of what people will see of the company, group, etc. Although I had just one partner, I thought cmm would be simple, back and forth, back and forth. It just was not so. I think to set the stage for further cmm between groups in and outside of this class what should be done is to have a time or days to know that your partner(s) will have access to the computer, quality time to collaborate with other members needing their input. I did have an email problem up until the 7th of June and it should have been fixed prior to class. this will never happen again. I guess all in all my partner liked the presentation of the project, made one change which was incorporated, we both signed off and that was that. It was getting to this point that my frustration led me to send an email to Prof. Richards comparing the scenario to having a textbook in front of me but am unable to get the cover open. It does not matter how large or small the group but cmm with a timeline for responses should help all in the end.
