Finding common ground for better collaboration Team member Date
Communication Protocol Driving Alignment
How do we want to communicate with each other (tone/style)? What do we want to accomplish together? Which communication medium do we use for what and when? What does success look like? What’s the expected response time per medium? What is non-negotiable? How do we address feedback as a team? How do we make decisions as a team?
Working Together Async & Sync Collaboration
How do we nurture strong relationships and take care of each other? How do we prioritize asynchronous work over real-time meetings? How do we facilitate courageous conversations? How do we manage documentation and keep people informed? What’s our schedule? Flexible time versus collaboration time. What’s our meeting rhythm? What are the norms for successful collaboration? What’s our meeting etiquette?
