🧭 How to use it
“What’s in Your Spy Kit?”
Each participant copies their Agent ID Card and lists 3 tools they’d carry on every mission (a fun way to start with creativity and lightness).
Gather Mission Intel
Add discussion topics to the “Mission Intel Drop” — anything from wins, issues, or questions from the sprint.
Vote on Priorities
Use the voting dots to choose which topics to discuss first.
Run the Operation
Move one topic into “Operation in Progress” and start the timer (default: 7 minutes). When time’s up, the team votes to keep going or move on.
Case Closed
Once discussed, move topics into “Case Closed.”
Assign Agent Orders
Capture follow-up actions in the “Agent Orders” section, assigning ownership and due dates.
✨ Bonus: Keep your eyes peeled for hidden elements — a secret clickable Easter egg just might lead you to a surprise briefing…
