What is a Working Group?

A working group is a defined set of people, usually coming from multiple teams or disciplines, with a clear problem to overcome. Some have very specific goals and disband after a few months, others have existed over multiple years and evolved over time.

The basic steps of a Working Group are:

2. Designate a Facilitator.

3. Define Operations.

4. Set Milestones.

5. Operate Transparently.

6. Evaluate Your Process.
