The Weekly ReBoot - Mini Hack #8 Mastering Post-it Notes
The Weekly ReBoot your regular Friday de-brief of things we’ve heard and seen coming from the Agile Community here in Melbourne and beyond.
This week we are focusing on mastering more collaborative sessions by using Post-it Notes really well. Join in for some stunning audio of actual Post-it Notes being peeled live.

Here are Alex’s 7 tips summarised:
#1 - Carry some around with you to increase opportunities for collaboration
#2 - Peel it the ‘right way’ to avoid curly Post-its
#3 - Use a Texta, write BIG, no pens!
#4 - Use the light bright colours, no dark colours, avoid a sea of pale yellow only…
#5 - 1 idea per Post-it Note please, lets us move them around and sort into prioritise and groups
#6 - Use voting to crowd source the most popular ideas/topics
#7 - Reflect alone first before sharing with the group, get participation from everyone
