Product & Team Management: Great opportunity to demonstrate the leader within me

"Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence wins championships." 
Michael Jordan (1996)

In the Class of Product & Team Management I have the chance to work in teamwork. The teamwork of my group was really important and very dynamic. The professional way of interaction my group has was the essential key of our project’s success. We always wanted to keep in touch with each other because we knew the importance the project had to our grade. The activities were very organized and clear, that’s why we did an amazing job.

When we came with the idea, my team had no idea about what a professional proposal was. They went searching different references (internet, books, etc.) and learn how to make the proposal. I’m very comfortable with the work my group did. I feel I have an amazing group and amazing professionals and that is very essential in a team.

Our team found some amazing challenges in this project. One of the challenges we found was the idea of making a multicultural event. We needed to know what a multicultural event was because that was the activity we offer to our client. We began to search and started to be inside the clients mind. We finally got the picture and when we spoke we knew every single aspect of the project. The challenges we encountered were the AIB and Work Breakdown Structure. These diagrams were the most complicated part (for me), but we did it.

We have much of significant learning’s regarding this activity. We learned how to put together a great production and a professional proposal in one month. We also learn to work as a group and that’s the most difficult part of all. Working in teams, especially the online one is very stressful and difficult. In my case, that English is my second language, I started to combine different words and different ideas with my group. The beginning results were a little uncomfortable but at the end we became fast friends. I learn more English and they learn more Spanish.


This experience definitely works wonderfully in my learning process for my professional behavior. I’m so glad to have had this experience because I know I’m going to use this example everyday in my professional life. I am an event producer and I now know how to build a professional proposal. The format and structure are very clear and significant in the “building process”. I know this proposal is going to be an example to build another proposals like that with my other projects. Personally I feel very calm and satisfied with what we accomplish.
