Team Charters can come in a variety of formats but ultimately they all serve the same purpose: defining and aligning the team
HR Daily Advisor defines a team charter as a document that “ensure[s] that everyone involved at the team (and senior management) level knows why the project needs to be carried out, understands what the objectives and measures of success are, and has a clear idea of who is doing what and with what resources.”
Team Charters can come in a variety of formats but ultimately they all serve the same purpose: defining the team, aligning it to a specific set of goals, and focusing the team on a specific set of responsibilities.
Well defined teams ensure that work gets done faster, that communication gaps are bridged more easily, and that leadership can maintain an understanding of how teams should be resourced over time.
A team charter is a document designed to be the north star for a given team and the summary of the team’s activities to all other stakeholders.
It is written and updated over time to reflect the core organizing drive behind a team and to serve as a store for important information about the team. A good team charter will clearly declare the team’s leadership, the team’s members, the team name, its purpose, its goals, and the context surrounding its founding.
