What is a Team Wiki and why is it important?

‍

A team wiki is a central platform where teams document their shared principles, expectations, and processes. It ensures that all members are on the same page, can actively participate in team development, and regularly reflect on their collaboration. Clear principles help prevent misunderstandings and create a common foundation for efficient work.

The SMART Rule for Effective Principles

‍

For a team wiki to reach its full potential, the principles documented in it should follow the SMART criteria:

‍

• Specific: The principles are clearly and concretely formulated.
• ‍Measurable: Progress can be tracked.
• ‍Achievable: The principles are realistic and feasible.
• ‍Relevant: They support the goals of the team and the organization.
• ‍Time-bound: There is a clear time frame.

Examples of Effective Principles

‍

Instead of a vague principle like “We want to work more efficiently,” a concrete principle could be formulated as follows:

“We want to define a clear agenda and objective for every meeting starting today in order to increase the efficiency of our meetings and reduce the average meeting duration by 20% within the next three months.”
