1- Define the purpose and mission of team.
A team needs to define clearly its vision and mission for it to become successful. Oftentimes, vision and mission are misunderstood as one and the same or sometimes, their meanings can be interchanged.
The vision is the overall core, concise, and defining purpose of what the team is doing. It is the reason why the team is created. It is simply the image of what the team seeks to create.The team's mission defines its process goals and the actions that need to be implemented to accomplish them. It is essential that everybody in the team understand the expected and prescribed goals that are the mission objectives that are very important to reach its vision.
In developing a team mission statement, take note of the following factors:
• Make it simple, short, precise and can be easily understood.
• Describe the people (who), things to do (what), actions to be done (how), and the purpose or reason (why).
The reason for having mission statements is to ensure that the team and its members have a clear focus of where they are heading. They are short but concise statements and are written and developed for the team members and for others who might be interested in the project.

Vision statements of projects should also be simple, inspiring and can project the project into the future. Example of a project vision statement:
The information technology framework will be developed to include techniques, tools, guidelines and instructions that enable an easier approach to decision making on software development project. The team will use a consistent language and terminology as well as a flexible and scalable IT project deliverable list in accordance with the client's needs.
Sample project mission statement:
To have an organized, productive atmosphere where the project team plan and carry out their tasks to achieve the team's goals. In doing this, we will use our skills and expertise in performing our tasks to create an information technology framework that will make processes simpler and can help create the best approach in terms of software development decision making.
