🚂 All Aboard the Agile Express

Set the scene by welcoming everyone aboard the Agile Express and explaining the train journey metaphor to encourage creative and open reflection.

Briefly revisit the purpose of each column: Lay New Tracks for new ideas and improvements, Pull the Emergency Brake for blockers or ineffective practices, and Keep the Engine Running for what’s going well.

Give everyone a few minutes to add their observations and suggestions to each column, allowing for anonymous contributions if your environment supports it.

Invite participants to review and read through the posted items, grouping similar ideas for clarity and focus.

Facilitate a team discussion around each column, prioritizing action items, especially those in the Lay New Tracks and Pull the Emergency Brake sections.

Collaboratively decide on next steps, assigning responsibility where necessary to move from reflection to action.

Close the session with a brief recap and thank the team for their input, using the train journey as a lighthearted wrap-up.
