Overview

Use this facilitation template to help teams identify and align on the most important next steps following a discussion, sprint, or decision. "What Comes Next?" is a lightweight prioritization activity that surfaces the actions worth doing now versus later — and assigns clear ownership before anyone leaves the call.

Key Features

• Structured grid for capturing proposed next steps from all participants
• Priority voting section using dot voting
• Owner assignment fields for committed actions
• Timeframe column (This Week / This Sprint / Later)
• Summary frame for the top 3 agreed-upon next steps

How to Use

1. After completing a discussion or workshop activity, ask all participants to add proposed next steps as sticky notes using the Quick Actions widget
2. Group similar suggestions by dragging related notes together — use AI Companion to auto-cluster if the volume is high
3. Run a dot voting round from the facilitation toolbar — each participant gets 3 votes to place on their top priorities
4. For the top-voted items, assign an owner and a timeframe using the Text tool or Cards
5. Capture the final three commitments in the summary frame before ending the meeting

Benefits

Most meetings end with good intentions and no accountability. This template closes every session with a prioritized, owned action list — so the work actually moves forward.
