This guide combines the organizational, technical and—as far as necessary for understanding—methodological aspects of teamwork in qualitative research projects into a practical manual. In this guide, teamwork is understood not only as the joint analysis of data but as analysis based on the division of labor.
First, MAXQDA’s teamwork features and other functions relevant to collaborative work are introduced. Then, a process model for teamwork in seven phases is proposed and its implementation with MAXQDA is explained:
1. Prepare project file and set up working rules
2. Develop initial code system and define coding rules
3. Test, adapt, and extend code system and coding rules
4. Code data with division of labor
5. Transfer coding to master project
6. Check coding quality
7. Analyze coded data
This guide offers all members of project groups in which qualitative data are jointly analyzed with MAXQDA an orientation and a basic structure for planning and implementing their teamwork.
