Team role that best fits me
I think that I am a coordinator. An example of is when doing the poster, I was making sure that everyone is my group are doing something, a bit like a shaper, but a nicer one(according to Ryan :P)
One problem is that shapers are like the opposite of coordinator. Coordinators ask for advices, while shapers just shout! I can't set my own deadlines! I need to set my own deadline-my goal!
