What’s Next?

In this chapter, you explored ways to design and facilitate the alignment part of an agile team chartering workshop. You learned about developing simple rules, forming a core team, and creating initial working agreements. You’re one step closer to your team’s first draft charter. Next up you’ll read a story about using a liftoff to align a team transitioning from a phased development life-cycle process to an agile process.

In the following chapter, you’ll discover the importance of context to a newly chartered team. Context is the part of a liftoff that’s most often skipped or ignored. Yet, context is the most obvious way to express systems thinking with your team. Context is important, and you’ll learn why.
