#### The Broader Team
**The Broader Team**

In our experience at NCEAS and the LTER Network Office, we've found teams of up to 10 to 15 people to be optimal for synthesis work. As individuals, we all have strengths and weaknesses. The beauty of working in teams is that you can invite people who offset your own weaknesses and who bring strengths you don't have. Often, you'll have a few core team members who have generated a synthesis idea, but then you'll want to take a clear-eyed look at what additional skills and qualities to invite. When you do so, be sure to consider:

The process can be as simple as taking 15 minutes to ask the group about their shared (and diverging) values and what those imply about how the group should function. The best choice for your group will depend on the mix of participants, the nature of the content, and the duration of your collaboration.

**From Biodiversity on a Changing Planet working group (PI: Peter Adler)**

This version is simplest and most appropiate when your group has some shared history and mainly needs a reminder to attend to their share values. Even so, be sure to leave enough time and space for participants to add new ideas or concerns. Offer some basic starting point values and norms, then ask the group to add any that haven't been raised yet. Record the results and return to them at the start of meetings.

For longer collaborations with more challenging power dynamics, it may be worth engaging in a slightly more involved process. In workshops run by the Center for Improved Mentoring of Experiences in Research (CIMER), a facilitator presents a set of group behaviors categorized as group-oriented or self-oriented.

## Making a Communication and Work Plan
**Making a Communication and Work Plan**

**Good teams are both chosen and made.** Diversity on teams uncovers novel approaches, perspectives, and insights and it can slow the pace and cause misunderstandings that highlight unexamined assumptions. As a synthesis team leader (and even as a participant), there are many things you can do to create opportunities for everyone to contribute their best thinking, learn from one another, and feel heard and respected.

## Intro to Establishing a Project Management Plan
## Establishing a Project Management Plan

As your group gets started working together, it it easy to assume that you will use the tools and planning strategies that the PI or project organizer is used to using. That information should carry some weight. They will devote a lot of time to the project. But also try to survey the group at an early meeting so that you know which platforms other group members use. Make decisions based on balancing platforms that will allow maximum group participation with those that will make the work easiest for those likely to be doing the work.
