Working agreement is made between scrum team members about how things should be done over the course of a sprint and how we will work together as a team.

They help develop a sense of shared responsibility, increase awareness of personal behaviour and empower the facilitator to lead the group according to the agreements.This agreement should be fully supported by each team member.
