Explanation
When forming a new team from multiple departments, the first step is to assemble members and clearly define each person's roles and responsibilities. This establishes shared expectations and prevents early confusion about ownership and accountability. Icebreaker activities (B) and quick delivery milestones (D) are valuable team-building tools but are most effective after foundational roles are established. Creating a charter (A) can follow role clarification but is not the immediate first step in team building.
