Everyone was waiting
Peer projects can stall when everyone is waiting for someone else's unfinished work before taking their own next step. Think of a collaboration with a friend or small group where these dependencies formed a loop, and progress required coordinating the work rather than one person taking over.
The two questions
- 1Describe a time a project with a friend or small group stalled because people's next steps depended on one another's unfinished work. How did you uncover what each person was waiting for and identify what could move forward first?
- 2Tell us about a time within that same experience when you worked with the group to break that loop. How did you negotiate a workable sequence, share responsibilities without taking over, and assess whether your approach helped?
