Rituals
● For each value, there should be rituals promoting and supporting them correctly.
● For example: ○ If a value is Collaboration, how are we promoting
teamwork between the projects, teams and members?
○ If a value is Fun, are we really having fun in our daily activities? How can we get to that point?
