Document Summary

Developing a culture in which constructive feedback is encouraged. Build revision and feedback into the task schedule. Decide on a revision process and follow it. Your team should decide how revision will be handled at various stages of the project and create a task schedule that reflects this decision. Use writing software that keeps a history of revisions. These tools allow one team member to revise another member"s work while still preserving the original copy. Include a statement about the importance of revision and feedback in the team charter. You can note this in the team charter along with a statement acknowledging that the team agrees. Two types of revision: feedback and direct revision. Feedback method - one team member drafts some set, submits it to others for feedback, and then implements revisions based on this feedback. Version-control problems - two people are simultaneously working from different copies for the text and end up writing over each others" changes.
