Stream Team Workspace
A Stream Team Workspace is a centralised digital hub where Stream Teams store and manage documents and links related to the work that they are performing. This workspace serves as a one-stop shop for essential team-related resources and enables transparency, collaboration, and efficiency.
Purpose
The purpose of a Stream Team Workspace is to centralise resources, tools, and information needed by the team to enable transparency on work as well as for the efficient operation of the team.
Format
A Stream Team Workspace typically includes:
- Kanban Board: A visual management tool to track progress of tasks.
- Stream Dashboard: A dashboard that provides a high-level overview of the Stream Team's progress and performance against their key metrics.
- High Level Goals: The high level goals of the team for the coming year.
- OKRs (Objectives and Key Results): The current objectives and key results for the quarter.
- Documentation Repository: A centralised place for all relevant documents, guides, and references.

Anti-patterns
- Information Silos: Keeping information compartmentalised, hindering team access and collaboration.
- Tool Fragmentation: Using too many disjointed tools, leading to confusion and inefficiency.
- Lack of Maintenance: Failing to keep the workspace organised and up-to-date, making it difficult to find current information.
- Overcomplication: Implementing overly complex processes or tools that add to the cognitive load without adding value.
