The value and benefits of agreeing the format and deadline for data is that everybody knows what they are doing and when it is due. If you have been given a task to complete, with details of how it should be done and when it needs to be completed by and there is a different member of the team who cannot complete their task in till you have completed yours and you do not get it finished within the time frame and/or it has not be formatted in the agreed way, then you will hold up the project.

Common objectives are developed by working together to ensure Team building is done and that the team runs affectively with all members using their strengths. The evaluate each individuals strengths and weakness’s and bear these in mind when allocating tasks.

Learning about how to obtain credible resources has been invaluable to my advancement so far. Using Metzger's criteria has helped me to detect information that is accurate, current, objective, credible and comprehensive (Swinburne Online, 2016). Metzger’s criteria have helped me to find references such as;
