Reflect on our Team Agreement
Reflect on Team Agreement
Why do this? Adjust the team agreement based on the experience of the first 2 weeks, and recommit to each other about honouring the agreement.
Living into Our Agreement
Load the team agreement on a mentimeter or hand out a copy of the agreement to each team member. Ask the team to vote on a scale from 1-7 on “how well we are living into each element of the agreement.” Use 1 for “not at all”, and 7 for “we are completely living into this”.
For a refresher on how to use Mentimeter, review the Learning Deep Dive “Using Mentimeters in Workshops” or watch the video below.
Zero in on 2-3 Elements of the Agreement
Zero in on 2-3 elements of the agreement that got a low score (relative to others). Ask team members to consider the question: “what things can we do in the next two weeks to score better on this?”
If there are many ideas, ask team members to vote on the three that will have the highest impact. You can do this in real-time in mentimeter as well. Ask volunteers to own the top voted ideas if there is implementation involved.
Recommendations
Ask everyone to think about recommendations to adjust and strengthen the agreement. Go around and solicit recommendations. Do thumbs up majority voting (if need be) to decide whether to adopt or reject each recommended adjustment/addition.
After you adjusted the agreement on paper or the flip chart, ask everyone to sign it.
