  1. Organizing a project team
    Abstract

    When interdisciplinary or interorganization teams are assigned, temporarily, to solve a nonfamiliar problem, intragroup communication may be difficult but is critical to the outcome of the task. Most of the problem analysis and solution or action plan are developed in meetings where all participants must come to terms with the different facets of the situation. Among the recommendations of this article for organizing a project team and holding successful meetings of this kind is a meeting agenda that covers (1) recognition of the problem, (2) definition of its scope, (3) identification of related needs and wants, (4) identification of possible solutions, (5) evaluation of solutions, (6) determination of the best solution, and (7) planning for further action.
