What is a Team Agreement?
A team agreement is more than just respecting each other's space, whether you're working in an open or a ''restricted'' area.
It's more than avoiding playing your favorite music when people are busy on a video call.
It's about allowing each team member to be the best version of themselves.
- Teams define and commit to a clear working framework.
- Expectations are clarified around schedules, tools, communication,and more.
- Teams define their own work rules together.
