Away day: our commitments and what happens next

Thank you for a great away day.

Our purpose today: 

What we learned about our one big problem: 

Our commitments (top-dotted on the board):
1.  (owner: )
2.  (owner: )
3.  (owner: )

Everything else from the board is in the summary below.

We'll review these at our team meeting on:

How to run it

  1. 1Write the purpose in one sentence and choose the one big problem before the day. Share both in the invitation.
  2. 2Open with the purpose and the two energizer polls to get everyone on their phones early.
  3. 3Run two working sessions with timers, then a walk-and-talk after lunch to keep energy up.
  4. 4Finish with the commitments board, dot-vote the top three and give each an owner.
  5. 5Book the review date before people leave and send the follow-up the next morning.

Questions people ask

What is a team away day?
A day away from the usual workplace when a team plans, works on a shared problem and builds relationships. It's the UK term for what US teams often call an offsite.
What are good team away day ideas?
A single big problem worked in small groups, a walk-and-talk in pairs after lunch, quick energizer polls, and a commitments board to finish so the day leads somewhere.
How do you plan a team away day?
Set one purpose, choose a venue away from the office, mix working sessions with energizers, protect lunch, and end with commitments that have owners and a review date.
