People and Roles: the names and the roles of the team.
Purpose: the why behind your goals (Start With Why).
Goals: the goals for the whole team (Team Strategy).
Personal Goals: the goals of individuals in the team.
Values: the core values that you share (Team Values).

Rules & Activities: how you are going to communicate, make decisions, execute and give feedback (Ritual Reset).
