Group Work Activity Report

Each group will provide a group work report on how the group has worked together to produce the PMBOK reports. It should not contain the main deliverables of the PMBOK project reports. Each group will document how members discuss and agree, the division of responsibilities and describes how individual efforts capitalised on the strengths of each group member. It will be used as evidence of individual contributions in the group. It is therefore in each member's interest to ensure that their contribution to the final report is complete. Each group is expected to have at least three group meetings for the group assignment. The minutes of group meetings should be documented and attached as an appendix of this group work report, clearly indicating who was present, issues and actions, agreed timelines, and the like. The group work report must indicate that a fair and reasonable distribution of work amongst group members was achieved. Periodic information such as emails or diary entries must be inserted into the correct section in chronological order. If the submitted group work report suggests that not all contributions were of equivalent standard and effort, differential marks will be awarded to individuals within the same group. It must also document what individual group members understood as their allocated tasks, that individual group members submitted allocated work of acceptable standard and quality by the date that was agreed upon.
