Navigating Team Chartering and Transition Challenges in Self-Managing Teams
The team chartering process sets the direction and purpose for the team's work, defining roles, decision-making processes, work-sharing, and meeting schedules. The challenge arises in the transition phase between deciding to work on a project and finalizing the team charter.
