“What's New? What's Missing? What's too Complex? What's Obsolete?”



Convener’s Responsibilities

• Identify a scribe (you may do it yourself or ask for a volunteer).
• Record the name of the session and the convener’s name.
• Convener starts discussion by explaining BRIEFLY reason for proposing the topic and then invites each person to share why s/he decided to come.
• List participants.
• Capture major points of discussion (see the notes at the bottom of the page).
• Type up notes, print them and post on NEWS WALL, AND either post them at http://wiki.AgileCoachCamp.org or email them to Naresh at nashjain@gmail.com to post.


Tips for effective facilitation: 1) Ask questions, 2) make sure everyone who wishes to talk has the opportunity to do so (don’t be afraid of silence). Most common critique of open space meetings: “CONVENERS TALKED TOO MUCH.”

Some thoughts about your notes:

• Capture what participants said in way that can be understood by someone who wasn’t there.
• Use whatever media works best for you: flip chart, pen and paper, laptops, and/or visual images.
• If you take photos, post them to the wiki or email to Naresh at nashjain@gmail.com

Use reverse or additional sheets or flipchart paper as necessary
