Purpose
Provide a consistent facilitation pattern for workshop-style skills: one step at a time, with numbered recommendations that adapt to prior answers.
Key Concepts
- •One-step-at-a-time: Ask a single targeted question per turn.
- •Enumerated recommendations: Provide 3-4 numbered options with a recommended choice first, so users can reply "Choice 1" or "1 & 3."
- •Context-aware progression: Each turn builds on previous answers and avoids re-asking resolved questions.
- •Fast path: If the user requests a single-shot output, skip the multi-turn flow and deliver a condensed result.
Application
- •Confirm goal and scope in one question if missing.
- •Ask one targeted question that advances the workshop.
- •Offer 3-4 numbered, context-aware recommendations.
- •Accept a numbered choice or a custom alternative.
- •Update context and repeat until outputs are complete.
- •Summarize decisions and deliver final artifacts.
Examples
Question: "What scope should we map?"
- •End-to-end journey (Recommended)
- •Single workflow
- •Specific pain point
- •Existing backlog slice
User: "1"
Next question: "Which persona should anchor the map?"
- •Primary persona (Recommended)
- •High-churn segment
- •Newly discovered persona
Common Pitfalls
- •Asking multiple questions in the same turn.
- •Offering generic options that ignore user context.
- •Ignoring the user's chosen option or custom direction.
