==Tasks Part 1: Raising Your Strategic Awareness==
# Work through the Strategy Canvas to identify:
# Your observations of the story map
# Where you think the value in the work is?
# Where are the challenges and risks in the work?
# Are there any dynamics that you can identify that give rise to the challenges and risks?
# Which of the archetypes do you think are appropriate for the scenario and the corresponding Backlog?
# How do you think you might implement those archetypes in the Product Backlog?
# Adjust your Backlog and release plan to implement your chosen archetypes recomposing the content of the sprints to get the best possible outcome

# Finally on a sheet of flip chart paper write down what you observed from the exercise as a form of self reflection
