We have all had the experience of working in a team and it has been either a wonderful or an awful experience. If team members are running in opposite directions and without leadership, then the team is bound to sink.

Team Charters are used to take care of the management of the team. They are documents that define the purpose of work, how it will be done and what the expected outcomes are.

For a team to go in the right direction, Team Charters should be drawn as soon as the project is formed. They ensure that everyone is aware and focused on the right things from the beginning. You can also draft a Team Charter when you’re in the midst of a team crisis, to help the team regain their view of the bigger picture.
