Key Takeaways
1. Facilitate the share-out as a compelling pitch.
- The cross-team share-out should be framed as a concise, high-impact 5-to-8-minute pitch, not a detailed review.
- Encourage presenting teams to cover the three core must-haves: 1) The Agent's Focus (the "why" and for whom), 2) The Job Profile and Tools (the agent's purpose), and 3) The Instructions (the step-by-step workflow).
2. Encourage constructive feedback and active listening.
- Reserve dedicated time (about 5 minutes) after each presentation for the audience to provide feedback and ask questions.
- Coach the presenting team to actively capture all comments and questions without getting defensive, recognizing that all feedback is a gift that is important for future design iterations and refinements.
3. Translate outcomes to action using the next steps matrix.
- The workshop must conclude with a concrete plan to keep momentum. Use the Next Steps Matrix to capture immediate action items by answering the critical questions: What needs to be done? Who is responsible? When should it be completed?
4. Focus on immediate, high-value follow-up actions.
- Do not try to plan the entire project. Focus only on the immediate 3 to 5 steps needed to move forward.
- Potential next steps include: creating a Solution Concept Diagram (fitting the agent into the technical landscape), configuring a Test Agent prototype, and designing a Vision Storyboard (a compelling pitch for executives).
5. Use the assembly line to clarify multi-agent handoffs.
- If the team designed a multi-agent system, encourage them to present also the Assembly Line. This visual helps to clarify how multiple specialists collaborate and sequence their work, providing the audience with immediate clarity on the complex end-to-end workflow.
