Developing a Team
Step #2: Have team members establish group
norms.
• Develop guidelines, protocols, or rules.
• Establish them by the team through consensus.
• Regulate proper and acceptable behavior by and
between team members.
• Commit to agreement to follow these rules.
“No design decision will be acted on before discussion
with and consensus from all the team members.”
Establishing Group Norms

teammates.
• Analyze each norm and discuss its impact on the
team and the overall goal.

consensus on.
• Establish consequences if norms are broken.
Typical Group Norms

Note: A copy of the established norms must be
provided to each team member.
