Reaction Foundry | Free collaboration worksheet

Use this once you have an idea and want to test one important assumption before committing more resources.

How to use it: Agree on the learning question and the limits before you begin. A test that changes your mind can be useful; record what you learned even if you decide not to continue.

1. What do you want to learn?
Write one question. For example: would a shared weekly planning session help this team coordinate its work?

Your notes:


2. What is the smallest useful test?
Describe one limited activity, prototype, or conversation. Define its scope and what it will not cover.

Your notes:


3. Who will take part?
Identify participants and an owner. Explain what participation involves and how you will get their agreement.

Your notes:


4. What are the limits?
Set a time window and a resource limit. Note any concerns, and when you would pause or stop the test.

Your notes:


5. What will you observe?
Choose evidence connected to your question: behavior, participant feedback, or a concrete result. Decide what would challenge your assumption.

Your notes:


6. When will you decide what comes next?
Set a review date. After the test, record what happened, what surprised you, and whether to adapt, repeat, expand, or stop.

Your notes:


Next step: Share this with your collaborators and agree on one action.
