 **Category:** RECOMMENDED 

 Establish team guiding principles. These guiding principles should be created collaboratively and should outline the team's purpose, goals, values, and operating principles. Verify that the charter is well understood by all team members and regularly referenced in decision-making processes. Periodically review and update the guiding principles to ensure they remain relevant and aligned with the team's evolving goals and values. Encourage team members to use these guiding principles as a framework for making decisions and resolving conflicts, ensuring consistency and alignment across the team.
