Develop two processes to incorporate and maximise the benefits of diversity in the project team.
Process 1
During the meeting with the team and stakeholders, there is going to be recorded what we called
an “idea-keeper” where the idea is to consider and discuss each member’s idea regarding the
project. So, the team member will feel included and heard, and will encourage them to nurture
the project planning and execution. Then, as long as each member is collaborating with the
project there will be a more understanding of skills, knowledge and commitment that will
eventually help to delegate efficiently several tasks.
Process 2
During all communications, each has to be reviewed in order to include the usability of Common
language, so the team will have easy access and understanding of the process. Then when
delegating activities it is important to allow and consider some time flexibility aligned with cultural
Develop a communication plan to support work plans and ensure that all involved in the process
feel included and respected.
Ask another project team to review your work in Task 2.1 and evaluate it based on the following
criteria:
● Effectiveness of the work plans to guide project work and ensure successful completion of the
project
● Efficacy of communication plan
● Alignment of the work plans with relevant diversity legislation and policy and procedures
● Effectiveness of processes to incorporate and maximise the benefits of diversity in the project

Certainly, the team was formed by members form diverse background. Two form South America
and the other two form Asia. At the beginning the communication was an issue mainly because of
the domain of the language. However, there was created an organized way to bring together the
team and start planning the project, delegating tasks according to skills, experience, and
workload. Later in the team we had an issue of commitment and accountability with one of the
members, where if there was developed a stronger communications strategy, it would not have
affected the team.

(80-120 words)
The communication strategy was effective at the beginning of the project, it was enough to make
the activities completed and work smoothly through the planning and executing of the project.
However, there was a lack fo commitment from one of the members, where made difficult flow
up and check out the progress of some tasks. Certainly, in this case que communication strategy
was insufficient to avoid and impact in the final project, where it would have delivered with
greater quality otherwise.
Reflect on your work and the work of others in the project team. Identify biases and assumptions in
communication and behaviours of yourself and others. Determine how you can improve by
adjusting behaviour and communication.
When I was project leader, I made sure all the documents where available for all members and
were written in a way that was easy to understand. Opened new communication channels to
share experiences and concerns. These strategies were kept during the whole project and widely
used by the menbers.
Evidence can be copied and pasted in this document or provided as a separate document with your
assessment.
