Group Projects: Survival Guide

Tanay · Nov 22, 2025 · 5 min read

Set Ground Rules

Meet early and agree on roles, deadlines, and communication channels (e.g., WhatsApp, Slack).

Play to Strengths

Assign tasks based on individual skills. If someone is great at design, let them do the slides. If someone loves research, let them lead that.

Deal with Conflict Early

Don't let resentment build. Address issues politely but directly. 'I'm worried we're falling behind on X...'

Keep Records

Document your meetings and decisions. This helps if there are disputes later or if you need to prove your contribution.
