Form your team, agree on how you'll work, split the tasks, and prove exactly who did what, every week.
Work becomes unequal.
One person ends up doing most of it, without anyone deciding that on purpose.
There's no record.
No one can prove who actually contributed. It becomes one person's word against another's.
It surfaces too late.
By the time it's obvious, the deadline is already here and there's no time left to fix it.
Availability, skills, and work style, in under five minutes.
Roles, meeting cadence, and internal deadlines, set once.
The project split into tasks, assigned to a person.
A running record of who did what, visible all semester.
