About this template
What is this workshop?
Most teams waste hours in meetings that could be replaced with a single well-run workshop. The 1-Workshop Workweek is a framework that helps your team shift to async-first collaboration — fewer interruptions, more focused work, and better decisions made together. This kick-off workshop gets your whole team aligned on the system from day one.
- Fewer and better meetings
- More time for focused, deep work
- Work from anywhere, on your own schedule
- A team that runs itself between workshops

Tips for first-time facilitators
- 1
Read the board sections the night before so you're not navigating it live.
- 2
Timebox each section to 15 minutes — it's easy to over-discuss norms.
- 3
Post the agreed norms in your team Slack channel immediately after — don't wait until tomorrow.
