Facilitation Starter Kit
The Facilitation Starter Kit is a practical, printable toolkit designed to help Business Analysts and teams run productive, well-structured workshops.
Over the years, I’ve refined these templates through real project work and facilitation sessions. This kit brings them together in a clean, ready-to-use format you can apply before any workshop, discovery session, or team retrospective.

The Starter Kit includes:
-
Quick Preparation Checklist
A clear set of steps to prepare for any session. -
Pre-Session Brief Template
A one-page form to align participants and clarify expectations. -
Facilitation Canvas
A simple yet effective planning sheet for designing your session. -
Technique Quick Reference
A concise overview of 10 core facilitation techniques and when to use them. -
Post-Session Debrief
A short reflection guide to consolidate outcomes and lessons learned.

Business Analysts, Product Owners, Scrum Masters, team leads, facilitators, and anyone running collaborative sessions.
