About this book

Most teams have plenty of teamwork on display: a Monday stand-up, a charter from last year's away day, a dashboard on the big screen and a reply-all thread now on its thirty-first message. What they're often missing is anyone who could say who decides, what 'done' means or why the same argument with the same neighbouring team comes round every month.

103 Rules for Running Better Teams is about the arrangements that let a group of people do good work together, and the rituals that tend to stand in for them. In short, practical chapters, it covers what the team is for and who does what, working agreements people actually use, meetings worth the hour, decisions and who owns them, saying the awkward thing, working across sites and time zones, dealing with other teams, and measuring the work rather than the activity.
