Facilitator guidance

Make the break explicit

State the exact return time, keep the room and virtual channel quiet, and avoid using the pause for additional content. A ten-minute break may work when the group is already close to the room; the agenda protects fifteen minutes so nobody has to sprint back.

Ready to resume when …

  • Participants know the precise return time.
  • The ranked challenge and constraint outputs remain available.
  • The Flow Diagnosis materials are ready.
  • Online participants have a clear re-entry signal.
