Preempt Failure with a Team Charter

Creating a team charter is essential for defining a team's goals, roles, and workflows. It involves clarifying aspects of team design such as the composition of the team, the objectives they aim to achieve, and the decision-making structure. Engaging team members in discussions about these elements often reveals differing assumptions, making it crucial to address them early. Additionally, conducting a pre-mortem before starting a project encourages the team to identify potential pitfalls and causes of failure, thereby enhancing preparedness and promoting effective routines.
