Facilitator tips

Use this doc to facilitate exercises, capture notes, upload screenshots, etc. Having one place to find everything makes it easier for the entire group. We recommend following the Sprint process whenever possible, but you may need to make adjustments to this doc as you go.

Many of the exercises are time-bound. Type /timer anywhere in the doc to insert a timer and keep your team on schedule.
