What’s the secret to successful projects and initiatives? Teamwork and effective collaboration, of course.

BAs are the glue that help teams work well together; facilitating workshops and creating a shared understanding about the outcomes required. It’s important we set up teams for success and ensure we all know how to work together effectively. Team agreements are commonly used but are often too vague with many assumptions, which can lead to conflict and confusion.

The Team Collaboration Canvas is a new tool specifically designed to help facilitate team chartering and retrospective sessions. It provides a simple method to capture the team’s ways of working along with the team’s vision, goals, responsibilities, and the context around the work environment, as well as support continuous improvement. This session will explore the Team Collaboration Canvas and how to use it to build awesome teams.
