It is very likely that everyone at some point has joined a new team. It can be challenging to come together with new people and figure out what is expected of you and vice versa.

As a people leader, team leader, or team member, there are certain activities and conversations you may want to have to make sure you can kick start your team experience in a positive way. Most of these exercises can be used with any type of team, not just software development teams.

In this session we will discuss (and potentially practice ) certain activities you can facilitate with your team. We will discuss the value of the activity, what the potential outcome might be, and how to facilitate the exercise.

These exercises include (but not limited to):
* Manuals of Me
* Team Agreements/Expectations
* Code Review Practices (for SD teams)
* Definitions of team Success
* Role Expectations

At the end of the session, participants will have additional facilitation tools they can use to assist in bringing new team members together a more positive experience.
