Group Norms for all my projects:
- No customization! We stick to out of the box solution
- We hold ourselves and one another accountable to get things done
- Less is more. Simple over complex
- Words are cheap. Actions speak louder than words
- We remove dependencies ourselves
- We make sound business assumptions to work through ambiguities and changing business conditions
- We avoid unnecessary emails. Emails are used to summarize agreements and key actions. We don’t have ping-pong conversations
- We prefer face to face or phone conversations
- We provide feedback that are real, open, constructive and action-oriented
- We leverage technologies to collaborate and ensure free flow of communication channels
- All meetings have details agenda with dedicated time slots
- Minutes are issued within 24 hours. All actions are due by 2pm
- We make decisions and provide feedback within 2 business days. No feedback means the recipient agrees to recommended next steps or decisions
- Each lead is responsible for gathering input, driving action, and relevant administrative duties like scheduling sessions and taking minutes
- We embrace change
