VII. Decision-Making Process
Approach: The project team as a whole will engage in a collaborative decision-making process, ensuring that the thoughts, perspectives, and input of all team members are duly considered. Nevertheless, ultimate decision-making authority will reside with the Project Manager, who will have the final say over any project-related decisions after thoroughly reviewing all opinions and suggestions from the team members.
VIII. Conflict Resolution
Protocol: If conflicts arise, it is highly encouraged to address these issues openly and with the utmost respect towards all parties involved. Should the situation call for it and the conflicts remain unresolved, the matter should be escalated to the Project Manager whose role includes finding a suitable resolution.
IX. Team Building and Cohesion
Activities: We host a variety of virtual events at our company such as coffee chats which enable us to casually connect and converse alongside our morning brew, team trivia games that inject an element of fun and competition into our work routine, and we wrap up each month with a virtual happy hour that allows everyone to unwind and socialize in a relaxed setting.
