Team Values

Team Values Statement

As an agile coach, one of the first things I do when launching new teams is help them to create a Team Values Statement.

Traditional working agreements are a declarative agreement by a team regarding how they will work together to bring cohesion and enable collaboration.  They set the ground rules, so to speak, so that everyone knows what field they are playing on. 

Agile Manifesto - What It Means To Me

Agile Manifesto – What it means to me
