Group ProcessGetting started with your group? One of the first things you might want to do is create a document, sometimes called a group charter, which clarifies what the group is about, what the group expects from its members, and other, related guidelines. Group charters make sure everyone’s on the same page, and prevent any disagreements or miscommunication. Make sure everyone has access to this document: this can be a great way to kick-start a discussion about how files will be shared.
