Introduction TEAMwork

Introduction to TEAMworkThe Objectives

• Integration of three approaches into a ‘complete’ solution

• Application in three e-working domains

• Role-based team-working methodology for effective

management and motivation of e-working teams

• Technology platform – Adaptable and

Configurable for effective ‘virtual’ decision-making

• Social skills analysis of user behaviour -

develop a skills solution



Introduction to TEAMworkThe Methodology

Analysing the Scenarios

• Bestregit Training for all partners• Analysis of scenarios in domains:-

– Software Engineering– Public Service Organisation– Research Networks

• Four servers installed• Configured with scenarios• Training programme for Users, Quality Manager and

Administrator • Scenario-specific training offered to users



Research Network Domain Scenarios

I. A set of teamwork scenarios to manage an EU funded project

II. A teamwork scenario for writing a proposal under Enterprise Ireland’s Innovation Partnership Programme

III. A teamwork scenario for international research collaboration between Ireland, Austria and Slovenia

IV. A set of teamwork scenarios to optimise the work for student exchange in Socrates network



Writing an IP Proposal: Step 1



Validation and Evaluation

• Trials organised in three domains

• June – September………Questionnaires and Interview

• Evaluation of Methodology, Technology, Social and Cultural factors

• Domain-specific evaluation reports



Initial Conclusions

• The TEAMwork solution works ……..easy way for teams to network and collaborate when located remotely

• The methodology is sufficiently defined and flexible

• Methodology explicitly defines roles and responsibilities



Initial Conclusions

• Methodology contributes to better teamworking and better management ……. encourages discipline and structured approach

• The methodology is only as good as the people

• Users needs to be trained to optimise the results

• Initial modelling takes time but reduces reworking



Initial Conclusions

• NQA is an effective virtual office …..excellent document management capability

• Efficient re-use of objects in document pool

• User interface could be improved

• Social / Cultural conclusions being analysed



Exploitation

• Discussion document prepared and discussed by partners

• Draft Exploitation Plan being developed

• Contact with other projects – further elaboration in EU Sixth Framework Programme
