What should I do if I need to facilitate
retrospective for 50 people, but I don’t
know any facilitation technique. Give
me a tip.
Combine these people into
groups: 10 groups 5 people
each. Work with groups as it
were individuals

How should I deal with a big number of
questions coming to me from a large
group that I’m teaching Agile. How to
make my answers interesting for most of
the participants.
Use Brainwriting technique and
Questions Backlog instrument

How to mitigate a discussion that
become a holywar? When some of
the participants blame others and
rest of the group is not very
interested in this conflict situation
First f all try to prevent holywar, using
token, round robin or linking.
If the holywar started, legalize it using
Fishbowl. You can also get the support
from the group asking about meeting
purpose and agenda.

I’m coaching several teams,
and members of the teams

understanding of meeting
topic (e.g. Scrum). How can
I make the meeting effective
in case there are people who
know a lot on the topic and
there are those how are
completely new to it?

Within our company there are
teams that have good
expertise in some domains,
while other teams has
knowledge in other areas.
How can I create a system of
information sharing among
them?

The team ignores me, e.g.
- Involved completely doing
some task;
- Fall asleep because of your 30
minutes talk;
- Lost focus;
- Whispering with one another;
- Rule of risen hand
- Speak quietly
- Use microphone
- Game
- Café-break
- Use your legs

I need to get 100 people acquainted
values, principles, practices of Scrum
(or e.g. of your company). How to
persuade people to share their
knowledge, encourage to discuss the
information I’m providing, and also to
get feedback from them?
Self-assessment and Radar of
practices, principles and values

people and I wish them to be involved.
