Discussion 8: Implementation Team Feedback Brainstorm

For this discussion, we will be doing an asynchronous role-playing exercise. Each of you will play specialists on a design team working on this scaled project. Even if the project is smaller scale than would normally necessitate these roles, consider what expertise this character would contribute to the team.

1) Attach your Major Assignment 1: Scaling Implementation Plan. 

2) Respond to the work of two (2) of your peers as one of the following roles each (two different roles total) as if you are giving feedback on a design proposal from your project leader. Try to give feedback from the perspective of a role no one else has embodied for that particular project. Give at least five (5) sentences of feedback, including your recommendations and at least one (1) question. The roles are:

  • Physical Logistics Specialist
  • Communication Specialist
  • Safety Specialist
  • Accessibility Specialist
  • Cultural Consultant
  • Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Specialist
  • Education Specialist
  • Mental Health Professional
  • Workshop Designer
  • Documentation Lead

Then, de-role, separating the next question with three asterisks (* * *).

3) Write a brief reflection about your experience playing that role on a team.

  • Did you find it relatable? Why or why not? 
  • Did you find it illuminating? Why or why not? 
  • Do you think this role might be helpful to you when implementing your scaled project? Why or why not?Â
