As part of a new team, an individual is tasked with completing Section 1 of a 4-section project. The project as a whole doesn’t require a lot of interactions with their colleagues as most of the work can be completed independently. Which of the following is the best approach for the individual to take with this assignment?

a. Learn about each of their team members' work and contributions; some of the parts that one team member are working on could impact another team member. It would be good to know how each of the pieces fit into the larger picture.

b. Work on their project alone and come to meetings when they are scheduled without any additional information about their team members. Since this is mainly an independent project, each person in the group should be able to complete their work in a timely manner.

c. Since it’s an independent project, the individual shouldn’t worry about other people’s deadlines. The individual can present their work at the end of the project plan without worrying along the way what issues other people are having. In doing so, the individual can make time to work on other projects simultaneously.
