🐎🧧 Year of the Horse Sprint

Kick off by setting the theme – the Year of the Horse – and ask the team to think of sprint moments that felt fast and smooth.

In the Swift Successes column, have each participant write a short note about a win or smooth flow they observed, then place them on the virtual board.

Gather the notes, read them aloud, and briefly discuss why those successes happened, highlighting patterns.

Move to the Stumbling Hooves column, where everyone adds a brief description of a blockage or mistake that slowed the sprint.

Discuss each obstacle, focusing on root causes and whether they are repeatable, and capture key insights.

In the Harnessing Power column, collaboratively brainstorm concrete actions or experiments to turn strengths into repeatable practices and to remove or mitigate the identified obstacles, then assign owners and due dates.
