The exercise is divided into four brainstorms, each with a corresponding group on the board.

Think of ‘Goals’ as a safe and relaxing island – where is the team headed? These could be short or long term goals that are useful for keeping the team aligned on objectives.

‘Risks’ are like the rocky shores – what dangers could be avoided next sprint?

It helps to imagine ‘Helping the team’ as the wind in your team's sails – what has been helping the team do better work in the last sprint?

Finally, ‘Slowing the team down’ is like the anchor pulling on the boat and stopping the team from going anywhere – what is blocking the team or holding them back?
