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;
  • offers helpful information and collaborative experiences;
  • helps everyone learn, think, and make decisions about the work together
  • provides a critical link to support, perspectives, and resources through the team charter.

A liftoff is a (series of) meeting(s) where everyone who are in start a new endeavor.

You have to slow down to speed up, so take the time to learn about the purpose and nature at the start of a new journey to begin well.

A well-timed liftoff adds energy, and a premature liftoff drains energy, so make sure you are ready for liftoff:

  • You have a committed sponsor and identified product manager.
  • You can you articulate the business case.
  • Funding and budgets to start the effort have been allocated, that is, you have money in the bank.
  • You have a clear intention at least to levels up for what you want to to accomplish?
