Workshop Facilitation
Rules
- Timeboxes are sacred. 5 minutes means 5 minutes.
- Diverge before converging. Generate before evaluating.
- Write before discussing. Silent ideation prevents groupthink.
- Vote with dots. Dot voting surfaces preferences without debate.
- Decider has final say. Someone needs authority to break ties.
Tools
- Timer visible to all.
- Sticky notes (physical or Miro/FigJam).
- Voting dots.
- How Might We format for reframing problems.
Common Mistakes
- Inviting too many people (5-7 max).
- Not having a decider in the room.
- Skipping the prototype (testing ideas, not opinions).
- Testing with colleagues instead of real users.
