FAQ
What if the team feels the animal theme is too silly?
Emphasize that the theme is a tool for engagement, not a requirement; you can keep the structure but drop the emojis if it feels uncomfortable.
How do we handle dominant voices during the discussion?
Stick to the silent brainstorming phase and use a round‑robin sharing approach to ensure everyone contributes equally.
What if we run out of time before covering all columns?
Prioritize the Paws & Hops Forward column for actionable outcomes and schedule a quick follow‑up chat to capture any missed items.
