Techniques for common team situations.
The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.
Create a facilitation toolkit for a scrum master. Team situation: [TEAM_SITUATION]. Challenges: [CHALLENGES]. Ceremonies in use: [CEREMONIES]. For each ceremony list two common problems and techniques to fix them with a script. Include a toolkit for conflict, quiet team members, over-talkers, unclear goals, and too much work in progress. Provide ten short retrospective or review activities with timing and materials. Add a coaching question list for one-to-one conversations and a section on measuring facilitation success using team feedback. Keep each technique to five sentences. Add a one-page quick-reference of questions to ask when a ceremony feels flat, such as who is not speaking and what are we avoiding, and a mini-guide on handling a manager who attends and dominates ceremonies. Provide a plan to ask the team for feedback on facilitation every quarter and to adjust based on what they say. Also give a short list of signs that a team no longer needs a facilitator in each ceremony and how to step back gradually.

Retrospective problem: nobody speaks. Technique: silent writing for 3 minutes, then pairs for 5, then share. Script: "Write one thing that helped and one that got in the way. No names, no solutions yet." Planning problem: too much work. Technique: capacity first. "We have 8 people-days; what fits?" Daily scrum problem: status reports to the manager. Technique: talk to each other; the manager listens. Coaching question list: What would make this easier? What are we avoiding? Ten activities: start-stop-continue, 4Ls, timeline. Success measure: team feedback every quarter on whether meetings are useful.
