What is Working Agreements?
A small set of shared, revisable expectations about how people work together.
What you learn
A useful agreement makes expectations clear and works for everyone involved.
When it helps
expectations are unclear, or working remotely causes friction.
Use it at work
- Start with a real misunderstanding and hear what each person expected.
- Agree a specific behavior that fits both people’s needs.
- Define what happens when the usual agreement cannot work.
- Try it for a short period, then review what happened.
Your output
Pick one recurring misunderstanding. Agree who will do what, by when, and check together after a week.
Watch for
Treating a vague value or a manager’s rule as an agreement everyone can actually use.
