How to facilitate
Set the stage by reminding the team of the Clash Royale metaphor and the purpose of each column
Give each participant 3–5 sticky notes and ask them to write brief observations for each column: Keep, Add, Less, More
Collect and cluster the notes on the virtual board, allowing brief clarifying comments
Facilitate a discussion column by column, voting on the most important items and exploring how to turn Keep and More items into actionable commitments
Summarize the agreed actions, assign owners, and close with a quick “next battle” pledge
Pro Tips
Limit each participant to a maximum of two items per column to keep the board focused
Use a timer for each column discussion to maintain momentum and avoid over‑analysis
Translate game terms into concrete work language (e.g., “Elixir Leak” becomes “resource bottleneck”) for clarity
FAQ
What if the team is unfamiliar with Clash Royale terminology?
Explain the metaphor briefly and map each column to familiar concepts like strengths, ideas, waste, and high‑impact actions.
How do we ensure the action items are realistic?
After voting, ask the owner to define a specific next step, deadline, and success metric before closing the item.
What if we run out of time?
Prioritize the top two items in each column and defer lower‑priority notes to a follow‑up backlog.
