Exploring the Benefits and Limitations of Belbin's Team Roles in Project Management
Contents |
Outline
This article will be about Belbin's Team Roles, and I want to update the following article: Creating effective teams with the use of Belbin's Team Roles ( http://wiki.doing-projects.org/index.php/Creating_effective_teams_with_the_use_of_Belbin%27s_Team_Roles )
I've read the article mentioned above, and feel like it could be improved. The start is fairly good, but in section 3 and 4 it is not as fulfilling as the rest. I whish it was more focused on application, advantages and disadvantages.
Please note that there will be direct copy/paste from the old article, as well as new information and structure. In order to see these changes more clearly it's advised to have both articles side by side
