Remote Team Charter Workshop

The team charter is a document that establishes the norms and rules by which the team will work together. The charter includes a description of the team's roles, values, strengths, and weaknesses, and defines key success indicators and quality standards for teamwork.

When is a team charter needed?

The simple answer is: always. But it's especially helpful to agree on rules for working together in a newly formed team. It's also helpful when you need to rebuild the team to start over. Or when the team is going through major transformations.
