This is incredibly helpful. Thank you! This part stood out to me:
Similarly I completely did not understand the concepts of inside view vs. outside view at the workshop; and worse yet I don’t think that I even realized that I didn’t understand these. However now that I’ve read Thinking Fast and Slow, the lightbulb has gone on. Inside view is simply me deciding how likely I (or my team) is likely to accomplish something based on my judgement of the problem and our capabilities. Outside view is a statistical question about how people and teams like us have done when confronted with similar problems in the past. As long as there are similar teams and similar problems to compare with, the outside view is likely to be much more accurate.
This and the similar comment about having forgotten the Planning Kata makes for really useful feedback. Yours is not the only report we’ve recently collected like this, but I think this is the most detailed. We’ll revise this and test some revisions. Thank you!
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.
I will note that it is extremely helpful to have the spiral bound notebook with detailed notes from the sessions. I’ve been skimming it every couple of weeks just to jog my memory, and give me ideas about what I should be working on. Usually I just toss these handouts after a conference or workshop, but this one’s been really helpful.

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!

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.
