Agile Team Chartering Agenda

In the team chartering workshop, participants will collaborate to refine the preliminary purpose drafted in Meeting 1. Then the team will continue to develop its first draft of the entire charter.

Participants in this workshop include the product owner, development team members, and stakeholders (or stakeholder group representatives) who will work closely on a regular basis with the team.

Following is a sample agenda for a one-day team chartering workshop. Start by distributing the preliminary purpose to the participants and review the agenda.
