The Anatomy of a Workshop

8 questions. Low stakes, unlimited retries, marked as soon as you submit. Every wrong answer comes back with a written explanation rather than a score. 6 of 8 to pass.

Covers: The five blocks and their failure modes, the four joints, the divergence rule, Kaner’s Diamond and the Groan Zone, and where the kit exercises belong.

Question 1 of 8

You are planning ninety minutes across frame, diverge, converge, commit and close. Which pair of statements matches how the blocks tend to need the time?

Question 2 of 8

Commit is the block missing from almost every broken session you have sat in. What is the actual reason?

Question 3 of 8

Your agenda says “Diverge — 20 min open discussion of options”. What is wrong with it?

Question 4 of 8

How do you know a divergence block did its job?

Question 5 of 8

Forty minutes in, the conversation has gone woolly. People keep adding new ideas while others try to narrow down, and both halves are getting irritated. What has happened?

Question 6 of 8

An hour in, the room is repeating itself, people are hearing views they do not share, and nobody can see how it resolves. You can see a decent synthesis yourself. What do you do?

Question 7 of 8

You are running a retro on a sprint that genuinely went fine, and the group agrees on almost everything within twenty minutes. What is the right read?

Question 8 of 8

Hopes and fears uses sticky notes and generates a lot of material, so it looks like divergence. Which block does it belong to, and why does the distinction matter practically?
