Future Visioning Workshop

A simple way to help manifest the future you most desire.

In this workshop you will create a future vision for you or your team.

One of the first tools great Agile coaches, Scrum Masters, and Product Owners master is writing a Future Vision. A Future Vision is an emotionally packed picture of what a preferred future world looks and feels like. A vision from the perspective of somebody already living in that world.

The Future Vision focuses the team’s energy:

Simplifying decision making
Establishing clear and measurable goals
Motivating and inspiring the team
Providing a collective definition of success

We strongly encourage creating Future Visions every time you form a team, start a project, or set an important goal.

Anyone interested in how to write a future vision to bring positive change. This workshop is applicable to everyone in your organization inside or outside of Agile teams. Agile Coaches, Scrum Masters, Product Owners, Managers, and Executives are strongly encouraged to attend.

What You Will Learn

In this workshop practice creating the essential elements of a Future Vision:

Achievable—something the team believes could happen
Inspiring—providing the team with positive emotional energy
Documented—written down, so the team agrees on what it says
Radiated—publicly visible so everyone involved in achieving it, knows it

Future visioning does not concern itself with ‘how’ the success will be achieved. It is not a plan to achieve it. Rather it is a detailed emotional picture of something already achieved—in the future. The style of writing a Future Vision is a human brain hack. It turns out if we write a Future Vision as if it has already happened it becomes easier to achieve.

A future vision is created with appreciative and positive language. It is amazingly versatile, and may be written for individuals, teams, departments, and entire organizations. A Future Vision may be created for the next sales presentation you give, the next retrospective you run, or for what your business department looks like weeks, months, or years into the future.

"I used a Future Vision to find our new office space. I was tempted to select several other offices before finding THE PERFECT OFICE. I was fortunate enough to write a Future Vison in this workshop on my office space. It help prevent me from making a big mistake.

And, it made the final decision simple when I found an office spaced I actually loved.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for this workshop.
