Liftoff: Start and Sustain Successful Agile Teams
summary
A liftoff runs as a focused one‑day (or longer) event that creates immediate momentum by producing a team chartering artifact with three sections—purpose, alignment, context—each with three parts (vision, mission, mission tests; simple rules, team roster, working agreements; boundaries map, committed resources, prospective analysis). Tools include story mapping or impact mapping to seed the backlog, an improv graph for likelihood vs impact, and explicit mission tests. Liftoffs work for new teams, restarts and onboarding, and are treated as a living charter to iterate.
