When to use this template
Use when you want to inject fun while focusing on actionable improvements and celebrating successes.
How to facilitate
Gather the team on a video call and share the DuckTales adventure story to set the mood
Create three virtual columns: Start, Stop, Continue, each with the themed headings
Give each participant 3‑5 minutes to write their ideas on sticky notes in the appropriate column
Collect the notes, group similar items, and discuss each group, prioritizing actions for the next sprint
Vote on the top items in each column using dot voting or emoji reactions
Summarize the agreed actions, assign owners, and close with a quick team cheer
Pro Tips
Encourage quirky, story‑driven language to keep energy high, but keep the underlying action clear
Use a timer for each phase to maintain momentum and avoid over‑analysis
Assign a “treasure keeper” to record decisions in a shared doc for easy follow‑up
FAQ
What if the team is unfamiliar with DuckTales references?
Briefly explain the characters and use the treasure metaphor; the theme is just a fun wrapper, the focus stays on the actions.
How do we ensure the session stays on track?
Set clear time limits for each phase and use a visible timer; the facilitator can gently steer conversation back to the column.
Can we use this format for larger teams?
For groups over 10, split into smaller pods for the idea‑generation step, then combine the top items in a plenary.
