As people share their experiences, pause to make a note of potential working agreements. They can be anything: behavioral standards, such as, “We don’t interrupt when people are talking;” specific practices, such as, “We use pair programming for all production code;” work habits, such as, “When we change tasks, we drop a note in the group chat;” and more. Include anything that will help your team work together better. Don’t critique the suggestions yet; just collect them.
