Happy Holidays!

Please could you point us to an explanation how people have done this?

You might take a look at "Making teams work in conducting grounded theory" by
Wiener & Bryant in the The Sage handbook of grounded theory, 2010.
According to Google Scholar, it has 180 citations, so you could search also search within those.
David L Morgan Great call! Many thanks.
The answer Wiener's team apparently came to was 'invent your own method, and ignore the Grounded Theory rules'. It clearly helps if you have a methodologist and founder of GT on your team! :-) Though clearly memoing and coding during the discussions is important.
But looking through citing papers as you suggested found this recent paperPreprint A grounded theory of Community Package Maintenance Organizat...
. And that one's spot on.
Yes, Bryant undoubtedly has free license to approve whatever he wants to in a volume that he edited. So, I'm glad you found something that works.
