If multiple team members are coding the same sources or you expect there will be overlap, you may prefer to organize your material by type (interviews, journal articles, videos and so on) and use sets as way of gathering materials for each team member.įor example, this set for Effie Reeves contains shortcuts to the materials she’ll be working on: If team members are working on separate sources you may want to create a folder for each team member and import the allocated source materials into it - for example, Effie is responsible for coding the first four interviews: Import and organize source materialsĪfter creating the master project, you can import the source data that the team will be analyzing. You may want to brainstorm ideas with the team, which you could do with a mind map in NVivo. Distributing the work among team membersĭon’t rush through the setup – take time to think about what each team member will need to successfully contribute to the project.This is a good opportunity to take a step back and consider your strategy for: Once you’ve created the master project, you can prepare it for teamwork. When you’re prompted to name the project, you can identify it as a ‘master project’ and include a description - this can help to orientate team members. You create it by choosing Blank Project from the Welcome Screen or New from the File menu. Create the Master ProjectĪ master project starts out like any other NVivo project. This post takes a closer look at NVivo master projects and suggests ideas for setting them up. For example, if two researchers have coded the same transcript, the team leader can choose to merge the coding.īut how do you create this ‘master project’ and what elements should it include? Where there are duplicates, the team leader can choose to merge them. Team members work in their individual copies of the project – coding, annotating, creating memos and so on.Īt regular intervals, the team leader merges the copies back into the master project. How does this work?Ī team leader creates a ‘master project’ and distributes copies to the team.
