Playing a board game without all participants having a consistent understanding of the rules is a frustrating, time-wasting experience. The same is true when a team starts to work together for the first time. Whether it is done proactively when the team assembles or is done as a reaction to unhealthy conflicts, having a basic set of working agreements can help to accelerate a team’s transition out of the storming and norming phases of development.

In many cases, this is because the subject matter experts don’t think of all at the functional requirements at the beginning of the design stage. In other cases, technical requirements may be “discovered” during the execution stage, when the team starts to build the system that will deliver on the functional requirements.

Many teams that operate within Agile are struggling. The story is the same for an abundance of them—the Backlogs from which they operate fail to provide clarity on priority, definition, and scope. The teams are left with more questions than answers and have no clear path to creating value for the organization and customer. We find that the backlogs that Agile teams frequently operate from appear as a thematic list of items that the product owner wants built.
