Assessment Task

You are required to critically assess the performance of your team and recommend improvements based on the relevant concepts and frameworks you have learnt in this subject in a 1,500-word team evaluation report.

Please refer to the Instructions for details on how to complete this task.

Context

Managers are responsible for the delivery of products/services and results whether that be in an operational or project context. This invariably requires not only the creation and development of teams including performance improvement but also the management of a variety of team, organisational, and cultural dynamics. This assessment requires you to conduct a review of team performance and demonstrate and apply your understanding of team processes and dynamics. In doing so, you will review the performance of the group to which you were allocated for the purpose of Assessments 1 and 2. This will help you to demonstrate analytical, evaluative, and problem-solving skills to develop strategies and actions for performance improvement.

Instructions
Question 1. Review your team's performance in completing the first two assessments and make recommendations for improvement.

• In reviewing the team performance, considerations must be given to the following:

o How did your team come together and what phases or stages did it go through?
o What roles did team members play?
o What challenges were presented?
o How did individual, team, and contextual dynamics impact performance?
o What would you do differently to improve performance?
o How would you apply your learnings in your current or future workplace?

• Please note that you are not required to review the quality and content of the assessments you produced as a team. Instead, you are required to review the performance of the team in completing the assessment tasks.

• You are required to specifically apply and discuss concepts from Modules 4, 5, and 6 as well as any relevant processes and concepts from earlier modules.

• The evaluation needs to be supported with evidence from academic research as well as examples from your own experiences and or observations. You will also find the module activities useful in prompting your thinking.

Question 2. Write a team evaluation report of 1500 words using the following structure:

• Cover sheet: Student details (student name, ID number, subject code & name, assessment number and title)
• Executive summary
• Table of contents
• Introduction: Outline the purpose and structure of your report.
• Background: Briefly describe your team's purpose and relevant contextual issues.
• Main discussion: Review your team's performance covering key concepts from all modules. Exploring these within an appropriate theoretical framework would be appropriate here.
• Recommendations / action plan: Provide recommended strategies and actions to
improve your team's performance.
• Conclusion
• Reference list
• Appendices

Question 3. You are strongly advised to read the rubric, which is an evaluation guide with criteria for grading your assignment-this will give you a clear picture of what a successful report looks like.
