Ken,
I think the changes add clarity to the tool.
Now, for one more question. Can you explain the nature of question 12? The purpose of the team is to produce agreed upon outputs.. Is it the distinction of per the plan, schedule, budget?
something like :
if we only produce per the plan we may miss the opportunity to do something even better than what we started with in the plan?
When I think of using this tool with teams I worked with I think this one would produce a lot of controversy. I can hear the comments now "Of course the purpose is to produce agreed upon outputs!" I might say in response " is it only the ones in the plans/schedules?"
Your thoughts?
ps
I have really enjoyed thinking about teams with you through this tool. I am in the midst of being a part of and forming a new group in my work these days.

Yes you have the interpretation i intended for that question - in bioteams the artifacts are secondary and the transformations they help produce are primary. The questions are intended to be a bit contraversial and will always need somebody like yourself to interpret and clarify them.
Please let me know how you get on and any feedback
Many Thanks
Ken
