Common problems
The conversation becomes hostile
Pause and return only when everyone can speak safely. Do not use this process where there is fear, coercion or violence.
One person carries the mental load
Assign ownership of planning and follow-through, not only the final physical task.
What to do next
At the review, keep what worked, change one weak point and avoid expanding the agreement until the first task is stable.
