Content Section Submission Guidelines

When completing the “Content” section of your AgileGPT contribution via the Empirique.io form, follow these best practices to ensure clarity, relevance, and usability:

📌 Structure Your Content Using This Format:

  1. 🎯 Purpose / Use Case

    • What problem does this solve?

    • When or why should someone use this?

  2. 📋 Step-by-Step Application

    • Provide clear, actionable steps or components.

    • Use numbered or bulleted lists to enhance clarity.

  3. ⚠️ Common Pitfalls or Anti-Patterns

    • Mention mistakes to avoid or scenarios where it might not work well.

  4. 📈 Outcomes / Metrics (Optional but Valuable)

    • Include any measurable impact (e.g., improved lead time, team alignment, stakeholder trust).

  5. 🔁 Variations or Adaptations

    • Suggest how this can be adapted for different contexts (team size, maturity, remote settings, etc.).

📝 Writing Style Tips

  • Use plain Agile language—skip jargon unless essential.

  • Aim for brevity and precision.

  • Write for a practitioner (e.g., Scrum Master, PO, Agile Coach) who may apply it immediately.

  • Prioritize practical examples over theory.

✅ Example (Well-Structured Content Section)

🎯 Use Case: Helps distributed Scrum teams run effective Retrospectives asynchronously.
📋 Steps:

  1. Create a shared board with 3 columns: “What went well,” “What didn’t,” “Ideas to try.”

  2. Share board link on Monday; allow async contributions for 48 hours.

  3. Host a 30-min sync on Thursday to prioritize actions.
    ⚠️ Pitfall: Don’t skip the synchronous follow-up—it’s key to alignment.
    📈 Outcome: 50% increase in follow-through on retrospective actions across 3 sprints.
    🔁 Adaptation: Use Slack threads instead of boards if team prefers chat tools.
