Teamwork can be defined as a group of people working on a project together. Although, a group of people is not truly a team, until they meet all the conditions for being a team.
What makes a team? The making of team consists of people who are committed to a common purpose, performance, goals, and approach for which they hold themselves mutually accountable. A team will have diversity in knowledge, experience, perspectives, and unique combinations of them all. They share responsibilities for a complete project or product and the process of accomplishing of a significant part of the process.
As an individual of a team, you will have a specific individual responsibility to help contribute to the overall success of the team and will work with others to complete the team as a whole. Even though, you will be responsible for a certain task you still will be unified with others because of your function to serve the bigger picture.
Teamwork doesn’t just take a team but includes everyone coming together working as a whole. The team itself will have a primary objective or mission for everyone to achieve which will take teamwork. Being and working as a team will lead to teamwork, but to have teamwork there are a few things the team needs to know.
Everyone on the team knows what needs to be done
They have the skills and abilities to do it
There are no barriers to prevent them from doing it
Are willing to work together to get it done
Teamwork takes focus, values, functions, participation, communications and clear expectations and goals to benefit everyone involved with the team.
At some time, in web design and developing, you will work as team, whether it is working for a company, in the class room, or alongside other designers and developers. Being a part of a team in this field, may require you do something small like getting good photos or graphics to something large like working on entire website. In the class room setting, teamwork can consist of helping other fellow students, connecting on a social website, most importantly is being involved and communicating with other students. Your personal responsibilities for the team may vary depending on the field and what is assigned to you. Your role is just as important as an individual to the team as the team in whole, but either way it goes, it still takes teamwork to get it done.
Teamwork is a way for us to share experiences, develop trust, build relationships and gain knowledge from each other.
