Our team will uphold a culture of open and candid communication throughout the project. We
encourage all members to confidently express their thoughts, address concerns, and provide
updates on progress. With open and honest communication, we will have a better foundation to
work from and can understand the bandwidth of each member. This norm fosters transparency,
minimizes potential misunderstandings, and keeps everyone well-informed about project
advancements.

Adaptability norms. Team members will be adaptable and flexible, remaining open to change and
adopting new ideas, strategies, and various requirements as the project progresses. Flexibility
allows team members to collaborate in real-time despite time zone differences. Our team will be
adaptable and react swiftly to changing circumstances, urgent tasks, or sudden project
requirements, ensuring a timely response.

Altruistic norms are individual voluntary actions that benefit each Phoenix team member. We
place a strong emphasis on individual accountability and responsibility within our team. Each
team member is expected to take ownership of their assigned tasks and adhere to agreed-upon
deadlines. Our integrity guides us to perform our best both on our team and as individuals. This
norm underscores the importance of personal responsibility in preventing delays and ensuring
that every team member contributes meaningfully to the project's success.

Emotionally intelligent norms. Our team is committed to valuing and respecting our group's wide
array of viewpoints and backgrounds. Acknowledging and cherishing the distinctive perspectives
and experiences of our team members can enhance our capacity for imaginative problem-solving
and the development of innovative solutions. We strive to show compassion to all group members
to foster the best teamwork possible. With collaboration and respect, we can work more
efficiently together. This norm nurtures an inclusive and considerate team environment where
each member feels acknowledged and esteemed.

The roles, responsibilities, and operating rules indicated in this charter will be used as the criteria
to evaluate each team member's performance upon completion of the project, summarized as:
demonstrated timely communication, completed individual and team tasks, demonstrated a sense
of urgency with milestone due dates, and contributed to supporting a positive team dynamic.
