Priorities for an effective Tech Team:
1. Communication: Develop a "worship service plan" which literally puts everybody on the same page.
2. Preparation: Spiritual preparation should take place first, before technical preparation.
Create a "preflight checklist" for each job that should be performed prior to every sermon or presentation.
3. Concentration: Since multimedia work usually takes place in a confined space, it's easy to b_noemaile distracted by another team member's job. Each member should concentrate on his role and his alone.
4. Synchronization: Teamwork in this case means that the worship service outline is in front of each multimedia member, eyes are focused on the stage, and hands are on the
controls.
5. Specialization: "Find out what you're good at and give it all you've got." One job, one function. Each person should b_noemaile a specialist at his or her task.
6. Anticipation: As easy as this may seem, multimedia team members must be in three places at once: The big picture; right now; and a step ahead. If they're too late by one second while performing a task, they have caused a distraction. Effective tech work is invisible!
7. Evaluation: It is important for the preacher and team members to "huddle" often. None of us are perfect, but each time the gospel is_noemailmunicated, it deserves our best effort.
