Tips & Co. #416 - Does your team have rules and standards?

This question refers to working methods that help seta certain number of rules in order to work as a team.The method illustrates the path the team lays out to perform its activities, achieve its goal, and follow procedures.

The method is twofold: 

Delivery

Define activities to be performed in order to develop a sequence of actions. It is not recommended and unusual to start working on a project without having previously decided upon a delivery-related working method.

Interpersonal Relationships

Define the forms of interactions between teammates to create order in the relations. Usually, everyone agrees on the importance of developing a working method, but developing a method for the interpersonal aspect of teamwork is often ignored or deemed pointless and costly. It’s a shame, because the group atmosphere could suffer from this lack of preparation.
