In January 2008, I assessed nine of my ongoing collaborative projects according to their level of collaboration, progress towards stated goals, and general ease and enjoyment. I also analyzed the collaborative teams involved in each project using the ‘four quadrants of collaboration’ framework.
From this analysis and assessment, I distilled a set of principles/directives that can be used to create and guide and effective collaboration. The principles are organized using the four quadrants of collaboration model so that they are grouped by their context and intent.
I would like your feedback and reflections on these principles. Which ones are useful? What’s missing? What’s overstated? Is there a different way these might be organized or presented to make them more useful? Here's a link to a Survey on these principles.
