Team Alignment Map

A one-page visual map to plan projects and initiatives together. It ensures everyone agrees on joint objectives, roles (joint commitments), needed resources, and potential risks before work begins. The TAM has become a go-to framework for thousands of teams worldwide to achieve clarity in minutes, not weeks, preventing costly miscommunications and delays. 

Use it to kick off a project or troubleshoot a stalled initiative – you’ll immediately see where misalignments are and collaboratively fix them.

 Team Contract

A simple but powerful tool for establishing a high-performance team culture. This poster allows teams to openly discuss and agree on norms: “what behaviors do we expect from each other, and what’s off-limits?” By negotiating a Team Contract, teams create psychological safety and clear expectations from day one. The result is a more accountable and harmonious environment where conflicts are reduced and trust is strengthened. 

Great for new teams, post-merger integrations, or any team needing a culture reset.

Fact Finder

A structured guide to facilitate productive meetings and problem-solving sessions. The Fact Finder helps team members ask the right questions and gather facts before jumping to solutions. It’s essentially a framework to enhance inquiry and critical thinking, preventing assumptions from derailing discussions. Teams that use the Fact Finder report more efficient meetings – less time wasted and more actionable outcomes – because they focus on facts and data.

Perfect for project retrospectives, strategy reviews, or any discussion where clarity is key.

Nonviolent Requests Guide

A quick-reference tool that transforms how your team handles conflict and difficult conversations. Based on proven Nonviolent Communication principles, this guide shows how to express needs and feedback without blame, turning conflicts into constructive dialogue. By using this guide, leaders and teammates can address issues promptly and empathetically, maintaining morale and forward momentum even when tough feedback is needed.

Use it when emotions are running high, to share difficult feedback, or during performance reviews to keep conversations productive.

Respect Card 

A pocket checklist for tactful communication. This simple tool reminds team members of the fundamentals of respectful, clear communication – especially under stress. It’s a handy way to reinforce a culture of respect and understanding, ensuring everyone’s voice is heard and valued.

Often shared after Team Contract sessions as a daily reminder of the agreed behaviors.

Team Alignment Map

Assessment Mode

An advanced version of the TAM for ongoing team performance checks. Teams use a scoring and voting system on the map’s elements to quickly diagnose issues in an agile project or a quarterly plan. This tool acts like an early-warning system – if a score on “Resources” is low, it flags that as a risk to address now, not when it’s too late.

Ideal for agile teams doing sprint planning or quarterly business reviews who want a quick pulse on alignment.
