Refers to: Treaties to Deal with Communication and Conflict

I like the "gilt-edge certificates", Jerry. How many of these do you dispense before the team internalizes treaties without the totem? Do they outgrow the totem?

There's something here about the importance of ceremonies.

In my experience, we've always kept the signed treaties, the formality. There's something magical about the process of putting your signature on something, and in any case, people don't want to take a chance on losing what they've gained. - JerryWeinberg 2002.06.16

The idea seems familiar from Design by Contract, but raises the emotional commitment ante.
