FAQ
What if the team isn’t familiar with Disney references?
Explain the theme briefly and reassure that the metaphor is optional; focus on the underlying purpose of each column.
How do we keep the session from turning into a story‑telling exercise?
Set clear time limits per column and steer conversation toward concrete actions rather than narrative details.
What if we have too many ideas in the Cast a New Spell column?
Use dot voting to prioritize the top three ideas and turn the rest into a backlog for future consideration.
