Group contracts

Group Contracts:

As part of the tasks I was given in my group I had to write out group contracts for both the design and making team, the most important thing was to identify when production meetings would take place and ensure everyone agrees with the consequences that will be in place for poor attendance and dealing with disagreements and disputes within the group in a quick and trouble free way. These contracts will then need to be signed by each group member and this is to make sure that they agree to these terms.
