-Designing for [[Team Development]] mainly consists of how [[Teams]] should be able to improve and what aspects of them can be improved. A primary influence on these choices is what the [[Teams]] consists of. In the case of [[Characters]], any type of [[Character Development]] also causes [[Team Development]]. In [[Teams]] of players, [[Further Player Improvement Potential]] or the possibility of [[Gameplay Mastery]] instead provide means for the [[Teams]] to develop. More specifically modifying [[Characteristics]] or providing [[New Abilities|New]] or [[Improved Abilities]] can be used to instantiate [[Team Development]], either on individual [[Characters]] in the [[Teams]] or on [[Abstract Player Constructs]] if they are use to describe the [[Teams]]. In games where [[Teams]] exist longer than single game instances, training members through [[Extra-Game Actions]] is another way to allow [[Team Development]].

In these cases, the introduction of [[Coaches]] can be considered to let somebody specialize in this activity as well as tactical and strategical decision making during gameplay.
 [[Player-Planned Development]] can be used to let players have influence over [[Team Development]].
