What are the five conventions that can help teams overcome obstacles?

Five conventions that can help teams to overcome obstacles are: training, team planning, team goals, assigning roles and shared responsibility.

1. Purpose of training is for team members to get to know each other, understand the team's principles, how it functions, and what is its' purpose. Through training, they learn how to communicate with each other, how to work together and help each other.

2. Team planning assumes that all team members are included in defining the tasks and activities required to realize the goal. When we have several different opinions, there is less chance that we'll miss something important.

3. Team goals represent the purpose of each team. All team members must be included in defining team goals. That way, team members have a clear perception of the goals. Besides, if team members perceive these goals as their own, they are going to invest more effort in their realization.

4. Assigning roles helps team members to do their tasks faster and easier. Team members are going to be assigned a role for which they have most knowledge and experience.

5. Shared responsibility means that an individual is responsible for the success of the task that was assigned to them.
