The concepts of transactional analysis are applied to teams of engineers. These ideas show the engineer how `he' can change and that he alone is responsible for what happens in the future, no matter what has happened in the past. Transactional analysis offers a framework for increased communication to facilitate engineering decision making. Since transactional analysis is a behaviour model, it can be used in conjunction with something like the managerial grid and the Johari window to improve team effectiveness. A model for planned renegotiation is outlined in the event that the initial expectations of an engineering team do not develop as planned.

Transactional analysis can improve engineering team effectiveness by facilitating communication and decision-making, and can be used in conjunction with managerial grids and Johari windows.
