Liftoff

Maybe merge with team charter.

• to launch agile teams toward success;
• to launch a team with attention and intention;
• to charter an agile team just-enough.

Een goed begin is het halve werk.

An effective liftoff:

• implies motion and momentum;
• accelerates the leap into the work;
• achieves alignment—a shared understanding about the work and why it exists;
• unites—brings key stakeholders and core team members together;
• clarifies roles by developing working relationships among stake- holders, product development, core team members, and business sponsors;
• outlines the context for the work and why it matters to the organization as a whole; and
• positions your team on the trajectory to success;
• defines the
  • initial intentions;
  • approach; and
  • plans; and to
• begin team building.

A liftoff is a (series of) meeting(s) when everyone associated with a new product or effort comes together to start a new endeavor.
