Strengths/ Weakness' & Issue's of You Need Cycle's

What worked well/ what didn't work so well & how I could improve it?

When I was doing this task for my IT A2 course about 'You need Cycles' I experienced that working in my group that there were things that went well and others that never went so well. The things that went well were that we worked as a group coming up with the ideas and getting the work done. Also it went well because the whole of our group contributed to doing the work instead of slacking off. As an overall we all came up with ideas instead of relying on the rest of the group.
The issues we had was that we was all going at different paces, so we was coming up with new thoughts whilst we was still writing down the last thoughts. This also contributed to us not really communicating about the same topic and rushed into our work with out really going into depth about it. We were also missing a group member so that person will not know what we were doing on that day.
Next time I would improve the communication within the group so that we all understand what we are on about and so that we can all keep up with the speed that the group is going at. Also another thing that I would improve would be to make sure that every member of our group turns up to every lesson so that our group can benefit from more work that is being produced by us all.
