There is no individual component now. All the deliverables under the individual component should be performed and submitted as a group (one per group). In other words, a group  will create a two-page written brief to answer the following questions.

Provide the context for the issue. Describe key business issue that must be addressed.
What are the possible solutions? Explore two or three alternatives.
What do you think is the best solution given those alternatives? Explain why.

The group deliverable is now due on Nov 11

Hope that clarifies.
