Your Team Charter and Plan is located in the Course Documents module in the Introduction and Resources module. Please download it and work as a team, and complete it fully before submitting it here by the end of Week 1. Most teams create the team rules and the team charter in the same meeting or series of meetings. Either way, your entire team must approve your Team Charter and Plan.
Now, take time to review the final deliverable in Week 8 for this course. After you spend the next few weeks in the simulation, your team will create a plan and a presentation. Look in the Course Documents module and review the BUSN460 Capstone Report Presentation document as well as the CoBM_BUSN460_Assessment Rubric. You can also see the peer review form that you will be submitting in Week 8 there as well. Use these documents to create your Project Plan for your team in this course.
Remember to submit your completed Team Charter and Plan.
