Agile: Team Norms
Groundrules set by a team that promote effective and harmonious teamwork and productivty
When an Agile team forms, it is customary to set team norms early in the team forming process.
This 10 minute video illustrates setting team norms: Agile Simulation - Part 3 | Purpose, Agenda, Team Norms
The norms illustrated in the video, while common, are just examples.
- The team norms should be chosen by the team itself,
- Being a part of the team represents a committment to those norms.
- Therefore, the norms should be ones that the team can come to consensus on.
- Different teams will have slightly different team norms, based on the context, personality of the team members, level of experience, etc.
