Design Systems Team/Norms

"Group norms are a set of agreements about how members will work with each other and how the group will work overall. These agreed-upon behaviors allow the team to increase its collective performance through healthy debate and clarity of purpose and roles."

Design Systems Team Norms

 * 1) We aim for clear, visible decision-making authority and ownership.
 * 2) We make knowledge, decisions, and history discoverable and accessible.
 * 3) We document action items.
 * 4) We leverage synchronous meetings to align, plan, and break down work.
 * 5) We leverage asynchronous tools (e.g., Slack) for status updates.
 * 6) We leverage Phabricator to break down goals into small, actionable pieces.
 * 7) We consolidate long Phabricator comment threads into summaries in task descriptions.
 * 8) We leverage small task forces for certain workstreams, as opposed to full-team discussions for everything.
 * 9) We are OK with unknowns.
 * 10) We call "time-outs" to realign on priorities where needed.
