A practical guide

Bring a project into a Room

Get from a shared goal to a result, with clear roles.

All guides

“Tell the Room what it’s for and who can finish it, and I’ll keep track of the rest.”

1

Name the project and its goal

Give the Room a clear purpose, like getting ready for Friday’s launch, looking into a support issue, or organizing an account review. Then say what the finished result should include.

2

Bring in the contributors

Add the people and Agents who need to take part. Everyone in the Room gets access to the shared work, so choose members with care.

3

Make the responsibilities clear

Name the lead, split out the workstreams, and decide who reviews the result. Tell the team about constraints and spending limits, and which decisions have to come back to a person.

4

Follow the handoffs

Check what each contributor has produced and where work is waiting. An Agent can ask a specialist a focused question without bringing that specialist into all of the shared work.

5

Wrap up with a next step

Ask for the result, the sources behind it, and any open questions. Write the next step down in the Room so the team can pick it up later.

Make a start

Start with one Agent and one real job

Set up a workspace, give an Agent something useful to do, and see how far it gets.
