Team Working Agreement Canvas by Avi Schneier  | October 18, 2018 | Blog My first experience launching teams came while I was working alongside Joe Justice. He taught me all about forming a team, creating a working agreement, and getting started on the right foot. Since that time, I have launched dozens of teams, and have been constantly tweaking the process to make it better as I have gone along. My first iteration took the form of using Lego to help even the most introverted person bring up points that were important to them. Much of what I did came from Ellen Grove and the Lego Serious Play facilitation course I took. While I was very satisfied with the results, the method does take quite some time. At Scrum Inc., we employ a workshop for launching many teams at once. While the outcome with Lego is what I wanted, I found it can be inefficient in these large groups, due to the varying team sizes in the room. Additionally, it’s not as engaging for those who are reorgan...

The name Scrum derives from watching lean hardware teams. A new team can drive process efficiency to 80% in three days by implementing the Swarming pattern . There will be an iPhone and Android app available soon that will connect to Jira and display a Scrum team's average process efficiency per story. The process efficiency of executing a story on a Scrum team is the most important metric for team performance, because a team can easily double velocity in one sprint by driving process efficiency up over 50%. A team from India asked me what KPIs they should use and I told them just use process efficiency.
