What is an activity? 

An activity is a collaborative space inside your workshop that allows your participants to contribute by posting a sticky note or voting. 

The facilitator can create one or many activities in a workshop. As you can see below, each activity is represented by a colored squared button. 

Activities can be facilitated one after the other, each being one phase of the workshop. Or, activities can be used as breakout rooms where groups of participants will be running them at the same time.

Templates

Each activity is based on a template: a visual canvas to structure and organize the participants’ input.

When creating an activity, you access the library of templates shown below.

If you’re looking for specific templates, use the Search bar at the top left of the window or filter the templates by category: Brainstorming, Agile workflows, Product Management, Team building, Problem solving and Strategy.

To request a template, please get in touch with the Excelway team.
