Guide for Creating Teams: Definition of Team
Team
People working together in a committed way to achieve a
common goal or mission. The work is interdependent and team
members share responsibility and hold themselves accountable for
attaining the results.
Mission
Refers to the business purpose of an organization or team.
Mission statements usually answer three questions:
- What is our purpose, including products and services?
- Who are the customers we intend to serve?
- How do we go about serving these people? (What activities, technology,
etc. do we provide?)
Goal
An outcome that is measurable and time bound which is subordinate
to the mission yet supports the overall business purpose by addressing
an aspect of it. Successful accomplishment of many goals is required
to achieve the mission/purpose of a business/team.
