Working Together Norms are ways of working together that help groups be more thoughtful and productive.
Areas to Consider When Setting Norms • Logistics: meeting time, place, duration, and frequency • Timeliness: start time, finish time, lateness, and attendance • Courtesy: listening, interruptions, equal participation, dealing with disagreements, respect, empathy, and sharing the workload • Decision-making Process: How will we make decision? Reach agreements? How will we show agreement?
Areas to Consider When Setting Norms • Workload Assignment: How will work be assigned? How will conflicts with existing workloads be settled? • Setting Priorities: How will we discharge responsibility for on-time completion and equal distribution? • Enforcement of Norms: How will we make sure the norms are followed?
Resources: Binder Walk Through • Orientation Materials • Course Information and Templates • Standards and Alignment Templates • Resources
