When this is the room
Activity taking too long
Running Over
The activity is going well and it's eating the schedule. Cutting it feels like punishing a good conversation, but the cost lands on whatever comes next. Give a two-minute warning, get the leftover thinking captured where people can see it, and move.
Say this — right now
Let's capture remaining thoughts on sticky notes and move on.
Word for word is fine. The room won't know.

- 01Give 2-minute warning before cutting
- 02Offer to continue in parking lot
- 03Adjust subsequent activities accordingly
- 04Identify what can be cut later in agenda
