Templates for online sessions
Miro has become a mainstream platform for online workshops, and offers a vast library of templates.
You might find our templates for Process Modelling and Software Design useful.
Both formats are built upon the Collaborative Games idea, and will let your team find the ideal modelling strategies to crack the puzzle with the contributions of the involved participants.
The Process Modelling template can help you discover the secrets of existing processes or to design entirely new processes from scratch.
See the Template
The Software Design template can help you explore different design options for the software architecture of your system.
See the TemplateWhat about the Big Picture format?
Online delivery isn't a good fit for Big Picture. If you need a massive exploration of a vast domain, you should usually prefer an in-person workshop.
Should you be in the small niche of organisations with no available alternatives, we have developed the tools and the skills to led you through an online exploration.
But a template alone, without the right facilitation, is not enough to make it work.
EventStorming Starter Kit
How do you become a great facilitator?
The answer is only one: practice! Possibly in a safe environment where you’re not risking too much.
We developed two free-to-use kits to help you practice with a friendly audience (ideally, we had a local in-person meet-up in mind) to explore the Big Picture and Process Modelling formats.
They provide the basic information to set up and facilitate a time-boxed (about 90 minutes) collaborative modelling experience.
Big Picture
Experience large-scale facilitation
on a role-playing game simulation.
Process Modelling
Experience collaborative design
working in small teams.
What's in the Kits?
The kits include a facilitator handbook for each format, role-descriptions for the Big Picture RPG, and a cheat sheet for the Process Modelling grammar.
-
Will you provide stickies, markers and the paper roll?
No, but the facilitator's instructions include a list of recommended materials.
-
What about the Software Design format?
It just doesn’t fit into the 90-minute time-box unless you’re already an exceptional facilitator with an exceptional audience.
