Agreement & Follow-Up

Use this after you've worked through a conflict and designed a solution (e.g., after Exercises 2 and 3). This exercise helps lock in the agreement, commit to new behaviors, and check in later to make sure it's actually working.

Estimated time: 30 minutes (initial session) + follow-up check-ins

Write the Agreement Down

5 minutes

Turn the solution you designed into a clear, written commitment that everyone can reference.

Instructions

Summarize the key changes or new behaviors you agreed to (2-3 main points)
Use specific, actionable language: "We will..." not "We should..." or "We'll try to..."
Make it visible and shared: post it in your team's workspace, shared doc, or chat

Example

Agreement: (1) We will use the shared decision tracker and mark decisions as 'draft' or 'final.' (2) We will wait 24 hours for input before finalizing decisions unless urgent. (3) We will check in on this process in two weeks.
