W4 Agile Team Chartering

Diana Larsen, co-author of Liftoff: Start and Sustain Successful Agile Teams, leads this team chartering workshop.

Every powerful Liftoff begins with drafting a team charter and positions your team on the trajectory to success. The team and business create a shared understanding about the work and why it exists. Chartering outlines the context for the work and why it matters to the organization as a whole.

Starting with chartering provides a positive force that moves a team toward successful delivery time after time. It’s the moment when everyone associated with the product vision comes together. They collaborate to define the initial intentions, approach, and plans. Team formation really begins.

Learn how to give your teams an advantage right from the start! Or, if your team has lost its way, start them back on a path to success with chartering.
