-- Have you heard of reading from the right to the left? And can you explain it to the group
+- What problems are we trying to solve with project boards and tickets?
+- Have you heard of reading from the right to the left? And can you explain it to the group?
 - Can you explain the concepts for work in progress?

 - How should we prioritise tickets in each column?
 - How can we be effective at moving tickets to done?
-- Could we remove something from the board?
+- Is there anything we could remove from the board?
 - How can you ask for help or give help to your peer?
 - How can I tell my team just with this board where I am at with my ticket?
