Activity – Forming a team charter

The team charter covers several aspects of how our team will carry out its work:

  • It's a process definition and agreement about how we will accomplish our work
  • It's the social contract defining how we will interact with each other, and how we will work together as a team
Remember, the team charter is a living document; it will evolve as our team evolves its practices. It should be posted somewhere in our team's area so that we can reference it and annotate it as we go.

The following steps take us through the necessary activities to form an initial team charter.
