Prepare some icebreaker questions about favorite myths or heroes to help shy team members warm up.
When discussing quests and challenges, steer conversations toward actionable and team-controlled solutions.
FAQ
How do I keep the discussion from getting too playful or off track?
Set clear expectations for a balance between fun and focused discussion. Gently steer conversations back to actionable insights if needed.
What if team members aren’t familiar with Greek Mythology?
Offer a 1-minute introduction or provide simple context for the theme so everyone feels comfortable participating.
How do we turn 'quests' into concrete action items?
Focus the discussion on what the team can realistically influence and encourage breaking big wishes into smaller, achievable steps.
What if we repeat the same challenges in 'Titan’s Trials' every sprint?
Look deeper for root causes and prioritize one challenge to address together, checking progress in future retrospectives.
