Concept Review

Work agreements provide a basis for communication, understanding, and commitment. They ensure that engagements, projects or initiatives get started off right. They also ensure that you keep things on track.

Work agreements are made between you and your primary client and/or team members for the purpose of clarifying understanding on what you will be doing, how you will be working together, and the results you collectively expect to produce.

The ultimate goal of a work agreement is to help enrich your work process and chances for success by having a clear understanding of how you are going to work together.

This tool provides a straightforward process and a set of templates to help you and your team develop a Work Agreement. This includes the following topics:

• Work Agreement Needs Assessment
