Before kicking off project work, it’s important that your team agrees on how to work together. This template includes a list of discussion points for your team to consider when you are forming your working agreements.

At the beginning of your project, your leads should schedule a meeting with your team to discuss these items. Once there’s team consensus around these points, you’ve created your working agreements.
