Course overview
Work it out in the room.
One live session on a shared board
A first draft of your own map
Your cohort’s board, open to you for a year
Masking is the Loop where you hide how things are really going to get through the day. It works, and it costs you. In this Live-Lab you map yours: what starts it, what keeps it going and which Terrain it shows up in.
No slide decks or lectures. Everyone works on one shared board with a real example from their own week. Live-Labs are never recorded, so the room stays a place where it’s fine to try things out loud.

You’d like to see how it plays out in other people’s weeks too.
You want a real example from your week to be the lesson.
Good to know
Bring a small, real example. Small is plenty.
You choose what to share.

Materials
A blank page. That’s it.
Almost always, all you need is a blank document on your computer, or a pen and paper. If a module needs anything else, it says so at the start.
