During the implementation phase of our team project, the dynamics of our team we’re nearly perfect.  We as a team throughout the academic year have grown quite close, so close in fact that we all consider each other good friends.  This unique relationship the five of us formed, set us apart from the other team projects within the program.  Due to the friendship we developed before the implementation phase, we as a team worked very well together.  This helped us understand each other and how we think, allowing us to properly implement our skills within the project.  We correctly facilitated a healthy amount of work between each of the group members.  Each job assigned to the team member fit nicely in their wheelhouse, oftentimes complementing their skills as leaders.  When it came to delivering on our responsibilities, each member turned in their assigned sections on time and well above any sign of subpar effort.  As to any sign of internal conflict, there was a minimal amount of disagreement, just enough that it would promote substantial improvement within the project itself.  Additionally, we made it clear as a team that we all welcome constructive criticism and that we welcome it so that our project could improve as a whole.  The implementation process itself ran very smoothly because of this understanding and I would venture to say that it improved substantially due said understanding.  By working in tandem with each other, each team member was successful in helping implement the project and bring into fruition.
