FAQ
What if the team struggles to identify any Shadowed Gaps?
Prompt them with specific questions about blockers, unclear requirements, or missing tools, and remind the group that gaps are opportunities for improvement, not criticism.
How detailed should each note be?
Keep notes conciseβone sentence or phraseβso the board stays readable and discussion stays focused on the core idea.
Can we combine columns if time is limited?
You can merge Insightful Sprouts and Shadowed Gaps into a single 'Challenges & Learnings' column, but try to preserve the distinct focus for richer insights when possible.
