Team Website

Each team will create a team website.

Make sure that you DO NOT include anything that violates a non-disclosure agreement you may have with your client.

One of the items on the team's website should be the team log.

Course and Team Logs

During your career you will need to keep track of how you spend your time either for your employer or to improve your own productivity. Throughout this course, you will practice doing this by keeping a course log recording the time you spend on all activities related to this course.

Keep a copy of your logs: you will need them at the end of the quarter for the final review.

Each entry records the date and amount of time spent, type of entry, and text describing the entry. An entry is one of three types:

• A description records an activity;
• An explanation says why something happened;
• A prescription is a plan for something to do later.

Most entries will be of the first type, but occasionally you should reflect and think about what is going on. The time entry applies for descriptions of activities and records the amount of time spent in hours, to the nearest quarter hour.

You are especially encouraged to keep track of the kinds of errors you make and the amount of time they consume. The purpose of recording these errors is so that you develop a better understanding of the kinds of mistakes you typically make. With that understanding you can improve your performance in the future, by paying extra attention to those areas in which you've had problems in the past.

Your logbook should be done weekly but you are not required to turn it in. Instead it should be summarized or incorporated fully into the team log. A team log should be published on your team website roughly every two weeks - see the course schedule in "deliverables and due dates"
