Checkpoint 0: Team Norms- Team 1

Team members: Abbie, Emma, Daphne, Hannah

Team Norms:

  1. Communicate (in group chat or in person) when tasks are completed or when additional help is needed 
  2. Give feedback in compliment sandwiches when needed, without using a harsh tone
  3. Don’t push off work until the last second
  4. Be open to new ideas and directions 
  5. When making big decisions or pivots, make sure everyone is on board
  6. Show up to scheduled team meetings and don’t flake last minute
  7. Maintain a flat team dynamic where everyone’s voices are equally heard
  8. Talk through disagreements tastefully

We will hold each other accountable for these norms both virtually and in-person. In our text group chat, we will send check-ins on Monday and Wednesday evenings to track progress before the upcoming class. Each member is expected to communicate what they completed, what’s in progress, and any blockers. Whereas text communications will consist of more formal progress updates, in-person meetings will focus more on ideation, feedback, and iteration. Each person is accountable for ensuring that everyone in the group has a chance to contribute to the discussion (in line with norm #7).
