The major assignment in EXT 503 (Group Transactions) was a group project in which we were to act as consultants for an organization wishing to implement an e-collaboration event or product. Our group of 4 worked on the fictional City of Edmonton Urban Tapestry Project. Looking back, the most useful parts of this project/assignment were getting to know my team members (as this was our cohort's first class together) and learning alongside them. Some of the skills we honed (e.g., process mapping, decision making) will help as we move forward, especially those who plan on consulting on projects.
