Initial team meetings will discuss the general plans for the project. They will divide the project into manageable stages by a method called top-down programming. This is essential because attempting to solve a large challenge without understanding the steps to succeed is both more difficult for the programmers and requires more of the company's time and resources. The general approach also includes setting standard practices to produce consistent, unified work. Since each programmer's tasks are dependent on others' work, this will ensure that all members' works combine into one functioning project.
Inconsistencies are potential problems.
The interrelation of tasks also requires that each team member fully understands his specific tasks and is capable of completing them. Recording the assignments of jobs and the content of meetings avoids confusion and allows the team to analyze the effectiveness of each meeting. This will improve the effectiveness of the team's functioning. In addition, each team member will sign and agree to responsibilities. This will provide accountability within the team.
