A team creates a culture and style that team members can identify with. It provided the sense of belonging which then leads to motivation and increased sense of contribution. To have a well-functioning team, the following questions must be considered:

• How well do the team members communicate with each other?
• How developed are the team member’s soft skills?
• How much freedom does the team have in making decision, depending on the maturity of the team?
• How are conflicts anticipated and resolved?
• How are standards drawn up and agreed upon?
• How ethics, integrity and general sense of contribution is maintained?
• What is used to encourage the team towards their goal?
• What processes are in place to increase the bonding between the individuals in the team?
• How project leaders within the group are assigned, supported, led, and communicated with?
• How communication between all levels, internally and externally are encouraged, monitored, facilitated, and improved?
• What training activities are provided for the team?
• How much feedback is given to the group on its overall progress and efficiency?
