The Tree Steps to Create a Jelled
team
Matching individuals with the right skills to the
right roles
 Defining the process the team will use to create
the product and establish the essential artifacts.
The team can then be organized around the set
of activities that produce and manipulate the
artifacts.
 Adapting the use of tools in such a way that each
individual manipulates the necessary artifacts in a
manner that is appropriate to and consistent with
their specif role, and also in a manner that
reduces the interference between individuals.
