Made for Collaborative Workshops

Why Spreo works well for collaborative workshops

Workshops rely on structure, facilitation, and active participation across multiple phases. Spreo provides a guided environment where each part of the session is clearly organised, helping facilitators run workshops smoothly while keeping participants focused and engaged.

Structure complex, multi-phase sessions

Structure complex, multi-phase sessions

Workshops can be broken into clear phases, each with its own activity, so participants know exactly what to focus on at each step.

Reduce facilitator overhead

Reduce facilitator overhead

Built-in facilitation tools handle timing, sequencing, and flow, allowing the host to focus on the discussion instead of managing the mechanics.

Keep participants focused and engaged

Each phase is revealed progressively, helping avoid overload and keeping attention on the current task.

Collaborate with internal and external participants

Collaborate with internal and external participants

Teams, stakeholders, and clients can work together in the same space, contributing ideas and input throughout the session.

Capture outcomes from every phase

Ideas, decisions, and actions are recorded on the board, so workshop results are not lost after the session ends.

What are collaborative workshops?

Collaborative workshops are structured sessions where a group works through a defined process to achieve a specific outcome. These can include project kickoffs, design sprints, strategy sessions, post-mortems, and other multi-phase activities.

Workshops typically involve several stages — such as brainstorming, discussion, prioritisation, and decision-making — often with cross-functional teams or external participants contributing throughout.

How teams run collaborative workshops in Spreo

Start with a workshop template or custom board

Teams can choose a template or build a board with multiple activity frames to structure the session, giving participants a clear agenda before they join.

Start with a workshop template or custom board

Guide participants through each phase

Each activity frame represents a phase of the workshop, helping the team move step by step through the process with a clear structure at every stage.

Guide participants through each phase

Reveal phases progressively

The host hides upcoming activities and reveals each phase as the workshop progresses, keeping participants focused on the current task without being distracted by what comes next.

Reveal phases progressively

Keep every phase focused and productive

Use different collaboration modes per phase

Private writing is used for ideation, group discussion for synthesis, and voting for decisions, so each phase uses the collaboration mode that works best for that type of activity.

Keep each phase timeboxed

Timers help manage time for each activity and keep the session on track, so the workshop finishes within the planned time without rushing the final phases.

Capture and share outcomes

Results are captured on the board, assigned as actions, or exported for sharing, ensuring that workshop outcomes are visible and actionable after the session ends.

Loved by teams everywhere

What the teams who use Spreo every week say about it

Enno Peters

Agile Coach, Architrave GmbH

I have a hard time picturing my work as a fully remote Agile Coach without Spreo.

The contribution and alignment it brings to the teams and people I work with every day is exceptional. This tool is the best remote adaption there is for creative and collaborative whiteboard meetings, which we all enjoyed so much before the pandemic.

Thanks Spreo for this outstanding tool, which makes my daily work so much more effective and enjoyable.

Theda-Marie Howaldt

Agile Coach, Haiilo

Spreo is an integral part of our daily business - and not to forget the confetti tool - our teams love it!

We at Haiilo started using Spreo during the pandemic to connect and collaborate effectively in a remote setting.

We are now a global company with different locations and a larger team so it becomes even more important to have a tool in place that can be easily rolled-out without much user onboarding. With Spreo our teams conduct constructive workshops and meetings of all kinds and for multiple needs.

Patrice Roux-Caillebot

Consultant-facilitator - Innovation and collaborative design

I am a collaborative processes designer and facilitator, working for french organizations, both public and private.

In 2020, when face-to-face meetings had to stop because of the pandemic, I was looking for the most efficient solution to run remote workshops. And I found it!

Of all the apps I tested, Spreo is the best suited for my needs and those of my clients. It’s just the perfect tool to easily create well-designed boards and engage people online. And I can’t wait for the next features (yes, it’s still improving!) Rich and simple, performant and fun: Spreo has it all!

Veronica Onu

Agile Coach, Minsait

Spreo has been a game-changer for collaboration.

I coach many different teams as an Agile coach and I’m always on the lookout for tools that genuinely enhance collaboration and efficiency.

The simplicity of Spreo is important. I’ve experimented with other whiteboards but they were overcomplicated, whereas the teams embraced Spreo without hesitation.

I run retrospectives and interactive training sessions but also use Spreo to analyze the root causes of problems (like the 5 Whys), structure meetings with Lean Coffee, use sprint planning poker for estimation, or just for a brainstorming session to identify or solve problems.

Alexa Lautenbacher

Agile Coach

I love that Spreo is designed simple and yet offers many smart features to make workshops more valuable and effective, such as hidden content writing, easy clustering, timeboxing and last but not least the confetti cannon!

Susan

Scrum Master, Oxford Club

I am a Scrum Master and have relied on Spreo for many things.

It first started out as a way to get the team to interact and be present in Retros but it has turned into a multi use platform for me. We use it for brainstorming, gathering our thoughts and ideas, Retros, etc. The ability to create your own “template” so to speak does wonders! In a time where we are mostly remote this has been a huge necessity & tool to keep the team engaged and bond as a team.

I’ve been told multiple times by team members that this is their favorite meeting, the Retros! I recommend and talk about Spreo as a great tool in my toolbox any chance I get.
