%X In 2004 Christchurch Polytechnic Institute of Technology
(CPIT) embarked on a project to develop eLearning
content for a number of modules from the Certificate in
Computing (CIC) that is overseen by the National
Advisory Committee on Computing Qualifications
The purpose of this paper is to describe the process that
was used to manage the development team and the key
issues that arose, how Belbin Team Roles as described in
Belbin (1981) could have been applied at the inception of
the project, and how the use of organisational patterns as
described in Coplien and Harrison (2005) could have been
applied in making decisions about how the team would function.
The paper identifies how some aspects of Belbin Team
Roles were extremely helpful in the managing of the team,
how some organisational patterns confirm different aspects
of how the team was managed, and that had other
organisational patterns been applied at the start of the
project some aspects of the overall project would have been improved and enhanced.
