Step 1: Preparation
Identify your core team and your team’s goal.
Set a meeting time for the team and head to the Network of Teams Play on the Atlassian Team Playbook for step by step facilitation guidance.
Step 2: Set the stage
Review the business outcomes and target deadlines that you are expected to achieve and write it down on a sticky.
Step 3: Identify your network
On sticky notes write the names of each team contributing to the goal. We’ll be defining the network of teams that are collectively pursuing this common goal so that you can keep these relationships healthy and achieve success.
Step 4: Map out your network
Place the teams on the circles of influence. Remove duplicates and discuss which ring of influence the team should sit in. Try to have no more than 5 teams as Critical to Success.
Step 5: Determine interaction strength
Assign a relationship owner to each of the ‘Critical to success’ teams.
Then, draw a line from your ‘Core team’ to each of the teams that are ‘Critical to success’ to indicate your interaction strength.
