team roles → Each member of a team project takes a role with agreed jobs, so the work is shared fairly and nothing gets missed.

Team agreement → A written list of who does which job and how the team will work together, which everyone agrees to follow.

Using the group chat to stay on track by telling the team what you have finished → Chat: I finished the slides. Starting the script now.

Resolving a disagreement by listening and returning to the agreed roles → Chat: I see your point. Let's check our team agreement to decide.

Roles: Mia - everything. Sam - nothing yet. → The work is not shared fairly. One person has all the jobs, so Mia is overloaded and Sam is left out. Each member needs a role with agreed jobs.

Chat: Nobody does the research, so I guess no one will. → No one was given the research job, so it will be missed. The team agreement should name who is responsible for each task.

Section E: Spot the Error

C — Ben is the Tester, but his job is now the same as Mia's. Two people doing one job means the testing gets missed. It should be 'Ben = Tester: checks links'.

D — Ava agreed to do the slides, so this reply breaks the team agreement and is disrespectful. It should be 'Ava: Slides ready, please check.'

B — In a team project every member takes a role, not only the leader. Otherwise the work is not shared fairly. It should be 'Everyone has one clear role'.

A — The jobs listed (set the timeline, check tasks are done) belong to a project manager, not a graphic designer. The role must match its responsibilities.

B — A good group chat rule is to be respectful. Shouting at people in the chat is not respectful. It should be 'Use respectful language'.
