Planning

A team charter is a document that outlines what the team is all about, what they're trying to achieve, and how they're going to work together. It helps visualise the team's shared goals and expectations, so everyone's on the same page. It's a handy tool for keeping everyone aligned, collaborating effectively, and making sure the team is set up for success. This play is great to run when you have just formed a new team and is also useful for existing teams.
