When to use an icebreaker question?
Icebreaker questions are a popular technique for getting people talking together as a group.
If your team is meeting for the first time, welcoming new members, or looking to kick off a retrospective meeting with some laughs, icebreakers are a great choice to get your team chatting and put people at ease.
Asking a narrow question about a topic that people find interesting or can be used to express something unique about themselves, you can get even the most shy people talking, thereby lightening the atmosphere and establishing trust amongst participants.
