Team Norms

Developing norms can seem trivial, but it is critical to establish proper expectations. This allows the team to work with more clarity and provides a clear platform to raise any concerns. Here are some recommendations, although your team may have their own definition.

Team Norms

  • What are your core hours?
  • What are your flex hours?
  • How to handle multiple conversations?
  • How to handle remote work and ceremonies?
  • Which mediums will you use to communicate?

Ways of Working

  • When to submit a pull request and how long can it stay open?
  • Where is your source of truth?
  • How do you maintain documentation?
