Forming a new Team? Here is a guide. The Team Formation Guide helps teams of all types:
Have a better understanding of who your teammates are
Gain more clarity of why your team exists and what you’re trying to achieve
Create a written artefact that captures your team on a page that will help you work more effectively together
You’re in the right place if your team is experiencing some (or all) of the following:
Newly formed team post re-org
The team doesn’t yet know how to work together
The team has recently undergone a big shift in strategy or purpose
Recently hired new 's who need help onboarding to the team and the work
What type of team are you?
There are good formation activities for any team (included in Team Formation) and there are some activities that are more necessary than others, for certain types of teams (e.g. Decision Making is more important for a leadership or cross-department team to align on, compared to a project team)
Leadership team | Team-of-teams / Cross-departement team | Ops / product / engineering |
