Making your team or organizational principles explicit is some of the most important work you can do. But, what are principles anyway? What are the benefits of a principles agreement? And how do you keep them alive and present within your organization? In this episode, we explore all these questions and more.

A statement of purpose is one of the most important agreements a team can make. But what are the components of a great purpose agreement? And what about vision, mission, and other related concepts? In this episode, we go deep on purpose.

How does your team work? If you're part of a team that makes and keeps transparent agreements about your way of working, you know how valuable this practice is. But, it isn't easy. That's why Murmur is building something new. Most SaaS applications replace or automate a task that people are already doing. We're thinking bigger—and trying to do two things at once: 1) provide a system of record for working agreements (the tool) AND 2) change the way teams make working agreements in the first place (the method). When changing both a tool and a technique simultaneously, there’s going to be a steep learning curve. But, we know that understanding a few fundamental concepts can make the climb a lot more enjoyable. So, in this first episode of Rough Draft: Agreements That Make or Break Teams, we’ll explore the fundamental concepts that make healthy working agreements possible.
