Your team contract template is divided into three major sections:
1. Establishing team procedures
2. Identifying expectations
3. Specifying the consequences for failing to follow these procedures and fulfill these expectations
The Team Contract will help your group effectively manage the project workload and complete a high quality deliverable. It will also establish your team's agreed upon expectations and plan of action if any member is not honouring their commitment to the project work.
