The charter is designed to coordinate the team’s goals by establishing an official document where team mission and objectives, scope of the project, team members and roles, communication guidelines, and support resource information is tracked. Charters are an important part of the project documentation as the serve as the guiding document when questions or concerns arise. In fact, it has been shown that the affective use of team charters can have a positive impact of the performance of student teams (Aaron et al., 2014). By writing and agreeing to the elements of the charter, teams can minimize ambiguity and have a place to reference in cases of dispute. How a Team Charter is used for Success The team charter will be used to ensure the success of our virtual team by making sure that we have · Mission (Team Purpose) · This is the major purpose, fulfills in providing products. (Why do you come to work, your team’s existence and the core business). · Measurable/Verifiable Goals · This consist of SMART goals (Specific, Measurable, agreed upon in writing, realistic, time activated and tracked). · Operating Guidelines · This should be the statement how we will conduct the business. This could be (code of conduct and safe environment, meeting guidelines, decision making, conflict resolution, workload, internal or external communication). After the completion of the charter everyone should sign off on it. The purpose of signing is that each of us is committing that we agree upon the charter. This in the end will help all of us. Virtual Team Philosophy and Values Statement My virtual team philosophy mirrors that of my in-person team philosophy which directly relates to respect. Such a simple word that can wear many different hats, so-to-speak. A successful virtual team respects the background, experience level, and ideas of everyone. Team six is dedicated to the following values: 1. Creating a culture of belonging and inclusivity 2. Being present and connecting with transparency and respect 3.

This combination of ethical theory and ethical approach drives my decision-making to be concerned with the ethical consequences of my actions and how those actions and the results of those actions should be guided by what is best for people. The virtue framework is also an influential part of my decision-making as it guides my decisions and actions based on what a virtuous person would do for the greater good. Andrew Voight I would certainly consider myself an ethical person. I try to do what is right in every situation and value honesty, accountability, and forgiveness in all aspects of my life and career. Thinking about the various philosophers' ethical categorizations I find it tough to place myself into a specific one. I would say something of a conglomerate of prima facie duties, virtue theory, and care ethics? For me, I try to ensure that through my words and actions, the people around me feel supported and cared for. Whether a stranger across the country, or my best friend since kindergarten, everyone deserves to be treated with respect and understanding. Jeremy Vance We will employ the F-A-T-H-E-R approach to our team. Fairness Accountability Trust Honesty Equality With respect comes admiration. There is something to admire in everyone; it may just take time to find it. As you build upon your code of ethics or morals, you will find that as you demonstrate your character, more people will come to respect and even admire the way you conduct your business, your choices, and your life (Moore, 2021). Willis Williams In business, emotions infuse decision making. Persuasive skills are vital during crisis mode or when a high-performing team member's performance takes a turn. Also, customers (internal or external) require a certain level of engagement to remain confident a project is moving in the right direction. One example for me; being on a successful agile team, sometimes the output doesn't quantify the effort to complete the task. Intentional recognition or praise may require motivating the team by quantifying how the team and individual production impacted the business's success. You have to be persuasive to keep the team production upbeat and moving forward. Mastering the art of persuasion: lead by example, frequent and genuine praise, share best practices, mentoring & pairing, establish trust, channel positive energy in self and the team, and accountability with development solutions. Stephanie Yue Ethical principles are the framework that drive our decision-making processes. Honesty, integrity, loyalty, responsibility, and trustworthiness, and fairness. These principles are not upheld by corporate governance, or government entities. But a framework for my decision making as a consequentialist. These principles provide a guide to do what is best for others. The feeling of personal responsibility and care for others tends to be a strength when it comes to group work. Gabreal Whitten Ethical theories are used for helping the main point of discussion for me. Making ethical decisions is an important part of the framework. The way I use them is gathering all information, then I define the ethical issue. Then I reach out for the affected, and understand the consequences. Then I think creatively and consider all information in one. You want to make sure you hold the person accountable for the decision her or she makes.
