Team charters are a great way to get the team to discuss what is important to the group and to get a shared understanding of the values that will drive their choices and behaviours. What is even better is if you can get the team to want this rather than pushing this to them. If the team does agree to build a team charter, make sure that it is not a document that is done and then goes to gather dust in the corner. When the team faces a tough choice bring it out to reinforce the values that will drive the decision and have a regular review to make sure that the charter is still valid and up to date. It is a fluid document that will change over time so make sure it gets the attention of the team it deserves
