Growth/Team/Norms

This page is intended to document the Growth Team's norms and ceremonies. Team ceremonies for Growth is defined as a series of acts and processes performed regularly with the intention of creating an environment that promotes iterative improvement, innovation and productivity.

On this team, process is not intended to become performative, rather it is intended to provide the needed structure to:


 * Improve Iteratively; Learn and Adjust
 * Experiment
 * Fail Fast
 * Reflect
 * Collaborate
 * Share Knowledge, Wins & Lessons
 * With Each Other
 * Our Communities
 * The Foundation
 * Set and Meet Goals
 * Adding Value/Priorities > Scope
 * Wikimedia Foundation Annual Plan
 * Short and Long Term

Team ceremonies can be altered if it is collectively determined after trial they are not effective as is. Plans and goals are set as a baseline and something to strive towards. Plans and goals if not met should not result in condemnation or negative tones. Not meeting plans and goals should be viewed as an opportunity to learn what needs to be adjusted, rather it is process, priorities, scope or expectations.
