Goal:

• To define and plan the tasks to be carried out during the next period.

• To give visibility to the tasks done by other team members.

How to play:

  • 1- Create a 3-column table:

    • a. Who?

    • b. What?

    • c. When?

  • 2- Ask the participants to write on sticky notes the tasks to be carried out during the next working period.

  • 3- Stick each note in the “What?” column, so that each note is a row in the table.

  • 4- Choose a note. Initiate a debate to decide among all the participants to whom to assign the task. This choice may take into account factors such as experience, capabilities, etc. Write the chosen member(s) in a new sticky note and stick it in the same row, in the “Who?” column.

  • 5- Follow the discussion with the aim of agreeing the maximum date for the completion of the task. Write this date on a new sticky note and stick it in the same row, in the “When?” column.

  • 6- Save a photo of the resulting table and share it with all participants.

Material:

1. 3 signs with the names of the columns.

2. Sticky notes (optionally, of 3 different colours).

3. 1 pen.
