Start / Stop / Continue
Turns vague complaints into commitments people can actually keep.
Every Note is already phrased as a change in behaviour, so the session skips past diagnosis and lands on commitments. Good for a team that discusses well but rarely decides anything.
Reach for it when
- Get from 'this is annoying' to 'here's what we'll do differently'
- Decide out loud what the team will stop doing, which usually goes unsaid
- Finish on time with a short list of commitments rather than a long list of grumbles
Pick something else when
- You need to understand why something happened before deciding what to change
- The friction is between people, not in the process
- The problem doesn't fit in three buckets and forcing it there loses the point
The board
What your team sees during Collect. Everyone writes on their own device, and nobody sees anyone else's Notes until the stage closes.

Stop
Not worth doing at all
Continue
Working. Leave it alone

Prompts that open it up
The facilitator can drop any of these into the room when it goes quiet.
What could we stop today that nobody would miss? What did we try once that deserves to become a habit? What's the smallest change that would have saved us the most time?
