I wouldn't update a lot or revise too much based on this report. The simple fact is that there was so much packed into 4 days that there was just no way anyone could remember it all. I suspect different attendees understood, remembered, implemented, and forgot different subsets of the material.

Noted, thanks. At the same time, the Planning Kata is a commonly forgotten one, and it's where we introduce the outside view. So it seems ripe for updating!

I will note that it is extremely helpful to have the spiral bound notebook with detailed notes from the sessions.

Good to know!

I forgot to mention one thing in reply to your top post, by the way: several references for Turbocharging Training should be in that booklet. The one part that the references don't particularly support is the addition of imagery as a means of creating intensity. It clearly works for many people, but the evidence is mostly anecdotal. Quite a few people walked away with the impression that the imagery was the point of Turbocharging (which it wasn't), so we've removed that and I now emphasize material that's more directly connected to the literature.
