Team Charter: What Stays, What Changes?

A team charter that never gets revisited becomes a artifact of who you were, not who you are. This lesson asks the team to sit with their agreements and ask which ones have earned permanence and which ones have served their purpose. It is an exercise in collective discernment, and it requires the maturity you have built across all eleven levels.

Theory

The original charter work in Levels 7 and 8 gave the team its first set of intentional agreements. Those agreements were necessarily speculative. You did not yet know how you would handle conflict, how decisions would really get made, or what pressures you would face. Now you do. Some agreements will have proven themselves under fire. Others may have quietly fallen out of practice. Rather than pretending everything still applies, this lesson invites honest accounting. The role clarity work from Activities 33 through 36 and the decision format discussions from Activity 36 provide direct input here. A charter revision is not a failure of the original. It is evidence that the team has enough self-awareness to tell the difference between values that endure and habits that were provisional. This is what maturity looks like in practice.
