**Guiding Questions**
For this initial exploration into what you bring to a team, try to avoid thinking about your TECHNICAL skills. Your answers to these questions should apply to any project/team that you work on:
------------
`How would you describe your preferred working style?`
- Group is largely preferring independent work. We enjoy working alone, we enjoy working together. A happy medium could be working together in a zoom SH room while all muted, coming off mute as needed to chat and ask questions.
------------
`What strengths do you bring to a team?`
- Colgan - loves organizing and keeping track of accomplishments and goals.
- Delilah - loves styling and CSS.
- David - loves Javascript.
------------
`How do you prefer to handle disagreements that come up? Trust me, they will come up!`
- speak our mind. Everyone gets a chance to speak their peace about an issue. If a conclusive decision cannot be made, we can put it to a vote and use our power as a group of 3 to make a democratic decision.
------------
`How do you prefer to make decisions as a team?`
- Same as previous answer ^^
- speak our mind. Everyone gets a chance to speak their peace about an issue. If a conclusive decision cannot be made, we can put it to a vote and use our power as a group of 3 to make a democratic decision.
------------
`How do you prefer to receive feedback? How do you prefer to give feedback?`
- for entire group:
- be direct with feedback. Be honest. Don't beat around the bush. Love to give and receive compliments.
------------
` Let's talk about our **CODE**!`
- Make sure we can all adequately explain our coding decisions and planning to our teammates.
------------
`GitHub Process?`
- Group will not merge pull requests independently. Make sure the group has had time to review pull requests before any group member merges.
- Group will strive to use clear and consistent naming conventions for branches.
- Group will strive to create an even distribution of code contributions, commits, etc
