Team pledges are a fun way to “swear in” the team and bring everyone together in a semi-formal way to vocally unify commitment to the team agreement. ProudCity uses a team pledge at the beginning of every new project.
Example pledge

- Be on time, respect others’ time
- Show up prepared and present
- Take ownership and responsibility
- Carry the momentum
- Trust one another
- Document updates in real time
- Don’t be afraid to ask for help
- Assess and communicate expectations
- Speak the truth tell the truth
- Share your blockers
- Keep your calendar up to date
- It’s OK to say ‘no’
- Acknowledge the fails

I will honor and uphold this agreement with my fellow team members and the people of [ORGANIZATION]. [ORGANIZATION] Proud.
