What have we learned?
Planning. Patience. Persistence. Pluck
Planning
• Warm-up activities
• Set up template 

in advance
• Micro-timebox
Patience
• It takes time to
adjust to a new tool
• There will be glitches
and you need to roll
with them
Persistence
• Changing team
behavior doesn’t
happen in a single
meeting
• Give it a couple
months
Pluck
• Someone on the team
should be the Mural
leader
• Learn and adapt
• Be innovative!
