Jenny, Your situation is so unusual that I suspect that one (or both) of two things is happening: 1) The teams are too small to begin with (5 is the minimum and 6 or 7 is better) 2) Something isn't going well with respect to the team-developoment process. That could be lots of things but, the most common problems are applications that aren't 4-S and/or not using IF-AT answer sheets. Am I correct in my concerns on either of these?
