Ask questions for clarification to help avoid making assumptions and check for common understanding.
We are ONE team, so be SUPPORTIVE rather than judgmental and COLLABORATE.
Participation also involves voicing our concerns & challenging ideas. Speak up & be heard!
We focus on the session. - Therefore we close outlook, - put our phones on mute, and - set the Slack status to "do not disturb."
We express DISAGREEMENTS with ideas, not individuals. Best Practice: Offer solutions/suggestions if in disagreement.
One step forward is better than no step; be keen for all ideas and don't be influenced from past experience.
Stay on Topic: Use the parking lot when needed & signal when off topic.
Decide on the decision making approach(es) / tool(s) that will be used upfront & support whatever decisions are made.
Be concise; timebox everything, and hold each other accountable.
We value other's ideas, contribution and differences by using empathy & active listening.
