28 Recommendations for Teams Take the time to determine and communicate the project vision. Get design input very early, when it is easy to change. Build relationships to facilitate collaboration. Designing complex systems from a selection of products is difficult you need a collaborative group. Have a project manager for all outputs: communication, collaboration, products, design, and building. Diversity and unity is key. Positive thinking is important. Enjoy and make the most of the journey. Expect delays. Be flexible. Develop a passion for the work.

29 Recommendations for SHAC Require and encourage collaboration; reach out to more supporters; increase central coordination capabilities; help teams receive design input and other commentary early in the design process Involve education, industry, council, designers, and the community; pass along input from previous teams; leave entry requirements open; leave judging criteria open; and provide opportunity for peer review and feedback for teams along the way.
