Statement of How the Team Will Resolve Impasses

If the team encounters any issues, we will work them out accordingly. We will use
effective communication strategies to understand the problems at hand and create
appropriate solutions.

Statement of How the Team Will Handle Missed Deadlines

We promise to hold one another accountable to meeting all deadlines by checking in
with one another and ensure that work is completed in a consistent and timely manner.
We promise to support one another beforehand should one individual struggle to meet
approaching deadlines.

Statement of What Constitutes Unacceptable Work and How Team Will Handle It

Unacceptable work would be missing group meetings and contributing little through
mediums such as google docs. Lack of correspondence with group will also constitute
unacceptable performance. If a group member is unable to attend a meeting, it is
expected that he or she will make up the work that was done during the meeting.
