What is a Charter? |
Team Charters are documents that define the
purpose of the team, how it will work, and what
the expected outcomes are. They are "roadmaps"
that the team and its sponsors create at the
beginning of the journey to make sure that all
involved are clear about where they're heading,
and to give direction when times get tough. |
