How does this help your team?
The better a Scrum team understands its stakeholders and their product, the more likely they are to build the right things. Otherwise, they may end up wasting a lot of time and money on problems that stakeholders don't have. This concern for stakeholders is determined by the quality of Sprint Reviews, the amount of collaboration with stakeholders, a strong focus on valuable outcomes, and product discovery.
In order to achieve this, Scrum teams shouldn't only focus on the product they're building. Together with their stakeholders, they should also pay attention to the market circumstances and the consequences for the product. What is happening in our field of work? What are our users saying? What are competitors building?
The purpose of this workshop is to invite Scrum teams and their stakeholders to focus on the bigger picture. What is happening outside your organization and how does this influence the product your team is developing?

How does it work?
The PDF outlines a detailed step-by-step 90-minute workshop that relies on Liberating Structures to engage and unleash your team. The string is designed with virtual teams in mind and includes:
- What, So What, Now What
- Impromptu Networking
- 1-2-4-ALL
This string of Liberating Structures is feasible from 4 participants and onward.
What do you receive?
- A 12-page full-color guide (PDF).
- We take you through the flow of the string in great detail. Not only do we explain all the steps involved, but we also explain why they are happening. This should make it easier to design your own strings in the future.
- The instructions support all virtual collaboration tools where you can create breakouts or separate channels occasionally (such as Zoom, GotoWebinar, and Teams). You can set up an additional virtual whiteboard in a tool like Mural, Google Slides, or Miro if you prefer.
- The PDF outlines additional resources and useful reading, both to prepare and to distribute afterward.
