55 Degrees Community Guidelines

Welcome to the 55 Degrees Community! Here you’ll find a passionate community of professionals from around the world with one common mission: delivering better outcomes with less stress along the way. 

The Community is made up of 55 Degrees customers, partners, employees, and enthusiasts. It serves as your go-to destination for discussions around Lean/Agile topics, 55 Degrees products, thought leadership, and professional and business development. The Community is a place where you can connect with others, grow your business and career, share your professional expertise and experiences, and build your influence. 

We strive to ensure that the 55 Degrees Community embodies our values and is a space where all members are respected. The following house rules establish the grounds for Community use. These house rules are part of our 55 Degrees Community Terms of Use. Please make sure you’ve read the terms that apply to your use.

55 Degrees Community House Rules

1. Be respectful.

The Community is a place where you can ask questions and seek out the knowledge of your peers. This is a shared space of connection and learning. So please be polite and considerate in your interactions with other members. All people are welcome to use the Community. However, we have a no-tolerance policy for certain acts such as personal insults, threats of violence, and/or harassment. They have no place in the Community and will result in revoked Community membership. 

2. Be relevant.

There’s a lot of conversation happening in the Community. Keep your comments constructive, not destructive, and make sure they are relevant to the topic. If you have a new question, start a new thread rather than interrupting a conversation. Please make sure to review section 3(b) of our Community Terms of Use for more information on acceptable use.

3. Help others grow.

Help make the 55 Degrees Community a richer place by sharing your expertise. Start a thread, post a comment, and get involved. You don’t have to be an expert to help others see things from a new perspective or benefit from tips that have worked for you.

4. Be responsible.

You are solely responsible for your interactions with other community members. Please practice common sense and use good judgment when posting and/or interacting with others. Do not post anything that would violate any contractual agreements (copyright, trade secret or otherwise) or nondisclosure agreements to which you are a party. It’s also a good rule of thumb to avoid typing anything you wouldn’t say to their face (or to your grandma). Remember, be constructive, not destructive.

5. Protect everyone’s privacy, including yours.

Don’t share anything about yourself, your business, or another community member that you/they would not want to be made publicly available. Do not post personal information that you receive in private messages or other one-to-one communications in the Community without the other party’s consent. 

6. Keep in mind, this is user-generated content.

The 55 Degrees Community is full of user-generated content with plenty of good advice, instruction, and insight. 55 Degrees is not responsible for the content generated by other users. Please apply the same good judgment pertaining to 3rd party content in the Community that you would apply to information anywhere on the Internet.

By engaging on, and contributing to, the 55 Degrees Community you agree to follow these rules as well as the full 55 Degrees Community Terms of Use.
