This morning we started working on our final report. Last week we agreed to a distribution of work for the easier portions of the report with a goal of having a first pass done by tomorrow. When we came into the office we started working on our respective assignments. Things seemed to be going pretty well until the end of the day when we had a disagreement over the timing of when and how we needed to level set our day's work with each.
Up until today we were functioning mainly in a data gathering mode. We seemed like a model team, but today with our impending deadline looming the team dynamics seemed to change. Today we had to deal with some of the team issues that other teams may have experienced earlier. That lead to an evening meeting that was intended to be a 30 minute meeting to go over the project, but ended up being an almost 90 minute discussion on how the members of the team are used to working (also ended up meaning no supper for Dave). On day 13 I alluded to the cultural/language barriers within the team and they were at the forefront of tonight's discussion. These seemed to be issues that have been simmering for days. Unfortunately I'm not sure we resolved much. We couldn't even seem to agree to disagree on some points; however, I am optimistic we will make progress tomorrow.
