Lean Coffee in 1 Minute

Lean Coffee in 1 Minute

Lean Coffee is a simple, collaborative way to facilitate meetings without a preset agenda. The process has five steps:

1. Create a visual board: Set up three columns: To Discuss, Discussing, and Done.
2. Brainstorm topics: Set a five-minute timer. Participants write down discussion ideas, with one topic per sticky note.
3. Vote for favorites: Give each participant three dots to vote for topics. They can place all three on one topic or distribute them across several.
4. Rank the topics: Count the votes and order the topics by popularity.
5. Discuss: Start with the most popular topic. Its author provides context, then the group discusses it for three minutes. When time is up, participants vote on whether to continue for another three minutes or end the discussion and move to the next topic.
