Add an icebreaker
Navigate to your team's HEALTH CHECKS tab.
Click START HEALTH CHECK.
Choose your preferred maturity model from a list or pre-defined categories or create a CUSTOM one.
Click on PROCESS and enable the ICEBREAKER step.
Select the RANDOM dropdown to dig deeper into the customization options. Selecting CUSTOM allows you to create your own icebreaker question once you start the maturity model meeting. Alternatively, select from a range of CATEGORIES and LANGUAGES from the drop-down menu, and a random question will be provided to you in that language.
- Customize your process and then START HEALTH CHECK or SAVE CHANGES.
The icebreaker will appear as a step. The team names will be populated, and you can add or change them as required. Live reactions and meeting feedback are also available. You can also set a timer.
If you selected CUSTOM, you will be able to add your own question directly into the ICEBREAKER step. When finished, click on SAVE CHANGES (CHECK MARK).
You can also create an AI-generated icebreaker by selecting the AI option.
You will be prompted to give a theme or prompt. When ready, press ENTER (PURPLE ARROW).
The AI will give you a variety of icebreaker options to choose from. To confirm your selection, click USE SELECTED QUESTION.
Tips: You can use the icebreaker at any point of the meeting.
If you run asynchronous maturity model meetings and want people to add their ratings and comments before the meeting, simply leave it in the Survey Step and all participants will be able to do so before hand.
