Team Members:
-------------
Rocklyn Clarke
Jennifer Lu

Jana Tarasenko
Kelly Yu
Accomplishments:

- Met several times with Ed Dolan to plan team building activity
- Conducted initial official team meeting on 3/19/2001
- Team conducted presentations on COEUS and Telecom (ICE9)

Goals for April 2001:

- Submit EAST quarterly report
- Set up team web page
- Update information in IS Work database
- Meet with Lorraine Rappaport to plan SAPweb work
- Meet with Roger and Bob to further refine team scope
Issues:
-------
- We are a new team and are still very much in the formative stages
- Ed Dolan has been very helpful
- I need to move carefully at this stage and not "break" anything
Team Dynamics:
--------------
- Reasonably positive
Key Learnings:
--------------
- Before you act, ask yourself:
"Why am I doing this?"
"What outcome do I want?"
- You don't know everything and it's wise to realize this up front. Don't
stop there however; it's wiser still to make sure you let your staff know
that YOU KNOW that you don't know everything. They already know that you
don't know everything anyway.
