How to create Team Purpose
#1 - Describe what your team does
•In five or six words or sentences, write down what your team does, what it delivers or what it produces. If your team delivers or produces several things, choose the one which accounts for 80% of the work focus. For example, ‘Our team delivers financial reports’.
#2 – Who are you doing it for?
•Clarify who your most important stakeholder is by establishing who has most to gain or lose by your success. For example, are you producing financial reports for an internal stakeholder or an end customer? Be clear about who you need to be walking arm in arm with. Focus on key partnerships.
#3 - Why are we doing what we do?
•Ask yourself, ‘What is the final impact for the end user of our product or service?’ In this way, you're creating a clear thread that shows how what you do is important, and how it impacts the final customer. For example, ‘We produce financial reports so our customers can receive timely quality investment information’.

Specific (simple, sensible, significant).
Measurable (meaningful, motivating).
Achievable (agreed, attainable).
Relevant (reasonable, realistic and resourced, results-based).
Time bound (time-based, time limited, time/cost limited, timely, time-sensitive).
