Collaboration Planning
Team Science is now offering collaboration planning services to new or existing teams!
What is Collaboration Planning? Collaboration Planning is an evidence-informed, facilitated 90-minute session that focuses on 7 key areas where teams often face obstacles (think communication, project management, or authorship disputes). At the end of the session, your team will have a written Collaboration Plan that summarizes your team's shared understanding and an actionable plan for each of the key areas.
