How to use this map
A well-functioning design team is crucial, if all of the customer and business concerns are to be effectively synthesized and included in the product. The most effective teams tend to be self-organizing in nature, nurture a sustainable creative culture, and have high performance standards; a mix of openness, shared purpose and mastery.
The Team Canvas helps teams acknowledge the individual knowledge, skills and roles that each member brings to the table, while also underscoring what is arguably more important: the values, needs and agreements that healthy teams share.
