Successful collaboration comes from clearly articulated roles and responsibilities for each step of the process. To help create a smooth and productive production experience it can be helpful to agree on what equitable collaboration will mean for your group.
•How are deadlines established for each team member? Is there a clear schedule and established expectation?
•How is the group balancing responsibility with compassion?
There are a variety of ways to divide up the work - what matters is that everyone in the group agrees regarding how content is being determined and how labor and responsibilities are being divided. All members should monitor distribution of responsibilities and a channel for vocalizing concerns of imbalance should be established. One way to divide up the work is to assign group members specialized oversight of a specific process. An example of typical role assignments would be Producer, Host(s), Lead Writer and Audio Editor but this explicit division is not required for a successful project.
