Question 1

Do I need facilitation training to use Sessionplan?

Accepted Answer

No. Sessionplan.de gives you a structure through templates and clearly separated block types that you just fill with your topic. For a compact introduction to facilitation mindset and methods, check out our guide to running great workshops.

Question 2

How do we build internal facilitation skills as a company?

Accepted Answer

The most effective way is a shared block library: every internal facilitator saves proven exercises, check-ins and formats, so everyone else on the team has immediate access to them. For concrete methods, our Liberating Structures guide is a great next step.

Question 3

Does Sessionplan work for very short internal workshops too?

Accepted Answer

Yes, that's exactly what it's built for. For 60- to 90-minute formats – for example between two meetings – our post on micro-facilitation shows how to make even tight time slots methodically sound.

Question 4

Can I get the planned agenda approved before the workshop?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The share function generates a link to your agenda that you can send to your manager, HR or co-facilitators. Requested changes can be made directly with drag & drop.

Question 5

What if a phase runs longer than planned during the session?

Accepted Answer

Live Mode always shows you the current block and the time remaining. If a phase runs long, extend it with one click – Sessionplan recalculates the rest of the agenda automatically.

Question 6

Is there a ready-made template I can start with right away?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Internal Workshop for Beginners template includes facilitation notes directly in every block, and works well whether you're facilitating for the first time or just want extra confidence in the flow. More experienced internal facilitators use it just as often as a quick starting point they then adapt to their own style.
