Project Discovery & Liftoff with Agile Chartering
summary
Describes a repeatable liftoff process called Agile Chartering that teams run in half a day to a day to avoid later misalignment by drafting a concise vision, mission tests and a team mission; runs facilitated exercises—team timeline, values-to-principles, boundaries and interactions, project community cards, committed resources and a perspective analysis risk/opportunity matrix—and produces visible artefacts that map dependencies, governance and technical constraints so teams of teams coordinate and reduce retrospective fixes.
