Start a whiteboard session

Start a whiteboard session in Microsoft Teams — with the four heights of help laid out: do it now, make it easier for the next person to accept, work out the right move when you are stuck, and learn the pattern so it stops coming back.

The four heights

The same task, four distances: today's deadline, the next reviewer, the stuck moment, the pattern.

We're running a pre-demo whiteboard at 9 a.m. tomorrow with design, product, and the demo lead. Start a whiteboard session, add the persona map, the user-journey sketch, and a slot for 'open risks'. Invite Priya, Diego, and Samir and pin the session link in the channel so the demo lead can run through it at 9:15.

Improve — make it easier to accept

Before I open the whiteboard with stakeholders, make it easier for reviewers to act. Put the decision we need in the top-left, add numbered prompts that ask reviewers to vote on feasibility, usability, and risk, and leave a visible checkbox for 'ready for demo' so the demo lead can close the loop quickly.

Decide — diagnose the stuck moment

Design wants the whiteboard organised.

I started a whiteboard but Diego says it's cluttered and reviewers won't engage. I have ten minutes before the session. What single reorganization will get designers and product to focus and the exact two labels I should add now so people know where to click first?

Become — change the pattern

Whiteboards become messy and unused after a few edits

Across projects our whiteboards fill with stray notes and nobody can find the final decisions. I want one standard that keeps a board readable from day one through demo. What simple structure and a single naming convention should we use so anyone can locate outcomes and the demo lead can close a board cleanly?

Other collaboration work people do in Microsoft Teams.

Every task here came from the work, not from a feature list — which is why the prompts name what you want done and never the button that does it. The tool changes; the work does not.
