This activity not only helps in understanding who will participate but also sets a lively tone for introductions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step-by-step:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Clarify the Post-It Colors<\/strong>. Begin by explaining that each color of the post-it notes corresponds to a different level of participation. For example, you might use one color for morning, another for afternoon, and another one for full-day participation.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Write Name and Role<\/strong>. Ask each participant to write their name and role on the post-it note that matches their level of participation.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fun Introductions<\/strong>. To add an enjoyable element, encourage each participant to introduce themselves beyond their name and role. They could share a fun fact, such as their favorite dish or summer vacation spot. This not only breaks the ice but also makes the introductions more engaging.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The &#8220;Participation Level&#8221; activity is a simple yet effective tool for collecting participant information and gauging their involvement in a workshop or session. By utilizing color-coded post-it notes and encouraging interactive introductions, this activity not only enhances understanding but also infuses energy and engagement into the group.

In a Lean Inception workshop, participants fall into two categories: stakeholders (who participate only in the kick-off and showcase) and active team members (who participate in all sessions). It&#8217;s important to note that the colors representing participation levels should align with the activity&#8217;s colors on the agenda.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_212175\" style=\"width: 1026px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-212175\" class=\"wp-image-212175 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/caroli.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/09\/participation-level-lean-inception.png\" alt=\"participation level (color coded) in a lean inception agenda\" width=\"1016\" height=\"529\" srcset=\"https:\/\/caroli.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/09\/participation-level-lean-inception.png 1016w, https:\/\/caroli.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/09\/participation-level-lean-inception-980x510.png 980w, https:\/\/caroli.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/09\/participation-level-lean-inception-480x250.png 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1016px, 100vw\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-212175\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">participation level (color coded) in a lean inception agenda<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This post is part of a series of posts on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/caroli.org\/en\/how-to-plan-an-inception\/\">inception related activities<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The &#8220;Participation Level&#8221; activity is a simple yet effective tool for collecting participant information and gauging their involvement in a workshop or session.
