|
||

|
||
- **Duration** (half day / full day / 1.5 days / 2 days)
|
||
- **Primary goal** (e.g. Q3 planning / team bonding / strategy alignment / retrospective / all of the above)
|
||
- **Location type** (office / external venue / remote-first hybrid)
|
||
- **Key topics to cover** (if known)
|
||

## 1. Offsite Objectives
|
||
|

State 3–5 clear objectives. Each objective should be answerable at the end of the offsite — the team should be able to say "we achieved this" or "we didn't."
|
||
|
||
- By the end of this offsite, we will have [specific outcome].

## 3. Session Facilitation Notes
|
||
|

For each working session, provide:
|
||
|
||
### Session: [Name]

**Time needed:** [X minutes]
|
||
**Materials:** [Post-its, Miro board, printed docs, etc.]
|
||
|
||
**Step-by-step facilitation:**
|
||
1. [What the facilitator says/does to open — 2–3 min]
|
||
2. [Core activity — describe in detail]
|
||
3. [How to gather/consolidate output]
|
||
4. [Closing move — decision, vote, or commitment]
|
||
|
||
**If the group gets stuck:** [One facilitation technique to unstick — e.g. "Dot voting if no consensus", "Parking lot for off-topic items"]
|
||
|
||
**Watch out for:** [Common pitfall for this session type — e.g. "The loudest voices dominating. Use silent individual writing first."]
