GROUP TEAM CHARTER

I. INTRODUCTION

The PIT (Project Implementation Team) recognizes the paramount importance of effective teamwork in achieving its goals. This charter serves as a foundational document guiding our collective efforts toward success. By defining our goals, establishing ground rules, and outlining conflict resolution mechanisms, we aim to foster a cohesive and productive team environment.

II. TEAM GOALS

Key Deliverables	Deliverables include a prototype of the mobile app, a comprehensive report on data collection methods, and a presentation for stakeholders.
Success Criteria	User satisfaction ratings, successful deployment of the app in pilot cities, and positive feedback from environmental agencies will measure success.

III. ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

TEAM LEADER
