Explanation of Solution

Team collaboration:

Collaborative work is being promoted in both inter and intra organization aspects. Team works in a collaborative manner only when knowledge is shared among the team members and the tools are shared among them.

Yes”, my team worked in a collaborative manner as the given resources were shared among the team members and they shared their knowledge with each other so as to support the progress of project and the team respectively and team members even encouraged critical feedback.

Two key characteristics of collaboration:

During collaborative work, if one of the team members has produced a document, then in the next step, other team members review the document and then a critical feedback is given.

  • Now, the feedback is taken into consideration and the first version of the document is modified accordingly.
  • Then the second version of the document is produced which is then reviewed again by other team members and again based on the feedback the document is revised, this process is called iteration, which is done until the best result is produced.
  • This shows that iteration and feedback are required in a team to get the best outcome.

Yes”, feedback and iteration were involved to produce the effective versions of the document required for the project.

  • When the first version of the project document was prepared then it was sent for the revision, where the document was modified and the second version was produced, based on the feedback of the members, this cycle was continued until the best version was derived.
  • This way both feedback and iteration was used in our project.

Collaborative information system:

In our team, the members were assigned with some tasks as per the task list made by the members.

  • As it is known that if a member is responsible for some task, it means he should take care that the task is completed within the assigned time and with the help of other team members in a collaborative manner.
  • When it is necessary to complete a task, then generally the team members focus on sharing the knowledge and information they have regarding the particular aspect of the project with other team members, so that the task has a successful outcome.

If collaborative information systems are not used:

Without the use of collaborative information systems, the best version of the document cannot be derived as there will not be any steps like feedback and iteration.

  • The individuals cannot expand their knowledge by sharing the knowledge of each individual, as it is only supported in collaborative information system.
  • The task can be completed quickly and within the specified time as the task will be divided and all the members will work collectively to complete the give task.
  • Collaborative information system also helps members to improve their decision-making skills, leadership qualities, and skills to work in team while cooperating with other team members.

If collaborative information systems are used:

With the use of collaborative information system, team members can widen their scope of knowledge and by working on a project together, the team may derive the best outcome, as there will be feedback and iteration.

  • The skills like decision making, leadership, and working in a team without any disputes with the members, which an individual can acquire while working in a collaborative manner can be improved.
  • The project is not a success until the time it is delivered within the given time, so with the help of collaborative information system, the task can be completed within the given time

Scenario You work for a small company that exports artisan chocolate. Although you measure your products in kilograms, you often get orders in both pounds and ounces. You have decided that rather than have to look up conversions all the time, you could use Python code to take inputs to make conversions between the different units of measurement. You will write three blocks of code. The first will convert kilograms to pounds and ounces. The second will convert pounds to kilograms and ounces. The third will convert ounces to kilograms and pounds. The conversions are as follows: 1 kilogram = 35.274 ounces 1 kilogram = 2.20462 pounds 1 pound = 0.453592 kilograms 1 pound = 16 ounces 1 ounce = 0.0283 kilograms 1 ounce = 0.0625 pounds For the purposes of this activity the template for a function has been provided. You have not yet covered functions in the course, but they are a way of reusing code. Like a Python script, a function can have zero or more parameters. In the code window you…
